Barzakh is currently accepting original art, poetry, and prose submissions for our Winter 2023 issue! We will be open for submissions from Aug. 1st to Oct. 31st, 2022, and we can't wait to read/ see what you send us!
A note about submission fees
If it's within your means, please submit using the "Tip Jar" submission form below. Submittable is expensive, and the $3 submission fee helps us to afford a limited amount of "Non-Tip-Jar" submissions that are free to those that cannot afford it. But if the submission fee is not within your means at this time, do not fret! We'd still love to consider your work. Feel free to use the "Non-Tip-Jar" submission form below.
In either case, we can't wait to read/ see your work.
