Last Call for Submissions to The Bluestone Review

Contributors are encouraged to submit any final works of prose, poetry, artwork, and photography to The Bluestone Review by March 1.

The 2023 edition of The Bluestone Review is accepting submissions from now until March 1. The Bluestone Review, published annually, is a literary journal distributed by Bluefield University. This year marks the 30th edition of The Bluestone Review, continuing a long tradition of creativity and comradery by writers, authors, artists, and photographers in the Bluefield area.

The Bluestone Review is accepting submissions from the community of Bluefield and surrounding areas, with a special call to Bluefield University students. Submissions may include poems, short stories, creative nonfiction, song lyrics, photographs, paintings, and drawings.

Prose submissions to The Bluestone Review must be no more than 750 words. No more than five submissions are accepted from one contributor. Please include your name, address, contact information, and one biographical sentence with submissions. Contributors will be given a free copy of The Bluestone Review, and additional copies will be available from the staff.

Bluefield University English professor Dr. Irene Rieger is the faculty advisor for The Bluestone Review with its rotating staff of Bluefield University students. This year, Olivia Jackson and Jonathan Collier are the editors of the publication. Plans are being made for a reception in late April for contributors to read and present their work to their peers.
