The student editors of Baily’s Beads, the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford’s award-winning literary magazine, are seeking submissions for a new issue.
Staff members are currently producing an issue to be published in January. Those submitting by the end of November will have priority consideration for inclusion in the following issue.
The magazine is seeking general submissions that reflect the community and culture or current events in a distinctive and inventive way. It accepts poetry, fiction and creative nonfiction, including memoirs, essays, commentaries, interviews, and travel and nature writing, plays, screenplays and original music.
Written submissions should have a separate cover sheet with name, contact information (address, email and phone), title of the submission and genre or medium. Send each submission in its own word document with a cover sheet attached. To help the staff judge work on its merits, do not place a name on the work itself. Prose should be double-spaced, and poetry should be single-spaced. Authors may submit up to 20 pages of writing.
The staff is also seeking art — photography, paintings, drawings, mixed media, sculpture, and digital art.
Submitted images should be high-resolution jpeg files to ensure a high-quality print.
Writers and artists do not need to be Pitt-Bradford students to make a submission. Each author/artist is asked to submit no more than 10 pieces. All submissions should be sent to bailys@pitt.edu.
For more information, contact Dr. Nancy McCabe, professor of writing, at ngm4@pitt.edu.
