Brevity

A journal of concise literary non-fiction. 750 words or less.

Submissions - Brevity will not be reading or accepting submissions again until September 2004, using the guidelines below:

• 750 words or less, no exceptions.
• Clean, clear, vivid prose. We prefer scene and action, detail and color, over your thoughts, opinions, exposition, or lecture.
• Read the essays in our latest few issues to get a sense of what we are looking for.
• No more than two submissions per author per calendar year.
• We have filled the FALL 2004 issue and much of SPRING 2005, so we are reading ahead into late next year and the following year. As a result, our readers have become quite selective. Send us only your best work.
