The Bluestocking Salon is currently open for submissions!

From personal essays to bibliophilic poems to bookish thought-pieces...we want to publish your literary musings.

Guidelines

  • For our Fall season submissions, we’d like you to write a personal essay, poem, or short fiction piece that answers the question, “How can books change the world?”

  • Pre-formatted submissions may be pasted in the space below or emailed as Word attachments to [email protected]. The subject line should read “Fall Blog Submission.”

    • In the body of your email, include the title of your piece, and if you’d like, a brief description of who you are.

    • Attach your submission to the email as a Word document. (Only submissions sent as Word documents will be considered—PDFs will not be considered.)

  • Please do not exceed 750 words per piece.

  • Simultaneous submissions are allowed, but please contact us if you decide to publish it elsewhere.

After Submitting

  • We will send you an email confirming that we have received your submission.

  • Bas Bleu reserves the right to edit submissions for style and/or clarity.

We look forward to hearing what you have to say!

Submissions for our Fall season are due October 1, 2023.
