Hints:

“Writers should familiarize themselves with the BR and similar literary journals before submitting. It’s easy enough to cruise through lists of journals at NewPages.com, Poets & Writers, The Review Review, and similar sites during lunch breaks. They should also take a few minutes to review the guidelines. There’s no sense submitting a 10,000-word piece to a journal with a 5,000-word limit. I recommend that writers read their work out loud to catch errors or run it by trusted readers before submitting. We receive many submissions that are a revision or two away from being publishable. Keep the cover note and bio brief. A simple ‘thank you for considering this story’ and a brief bio, similar to those included with work on our website, is all we need. If your work is accepted by one publication, always withdraw it immediately from other journals.”
