CrossBRONX is currently accepting submissions!


CrossBRONX is seeking short stories, creative non-fiction, poetry and photography on the theme of HOME.

What does home mean to you? What is it like to have a love/hate relationship with your home? What if home is a friend’s couch, or a shelter, or a park? Is it a color, a sound, a sudden sharp sense memory? Home is a complicated concept, and for this issue we want new and challenging views of what “home” means. We want to meet fictional characters who wrestle with the diverse emotional, physical, and spiritual landscape of “home.” We want poetry that illuminates different aspects of “home” – safety, warmth, family, confinement, repression, fear, love, food, sex, etc. We want photographs that show us something we’ve never seen before.

Submissions are welcome from Bronx-based writers, as well as work that takes place in the Bronx.

Submissions for the Summer issue are due by June 20th, but we will consider all work received after this date for the fall issue.

For Fiction & Creative Non-Fiction 
Submissions can be no more than 6,500 words or approximately 20 double-spaced pages. Very short works welcome. Send prose submissions/proposals to:prosesubmit@bronxarts.org.

For Poetry 
Submissions of up to three (3) poems per author. Send poetry submissions to:poetrysubmit@bronxarts.org.

For Original Digital Art/Photography 
Up to three (3) submissions per artist, with a maximum file size of 100 megabytes. Send digital art/photography submissions or a link to a website to:artphotosubmit@bronxarts.org.

Submissions will be accepted by e-mail only.

Include full name, mailing address, and e-mail address in the body of your e-mail. All text pages must be titled and numbered with one-inch margins, double-spaced and typed in 12-point font.
