Bellevue
Literary Review
Bellevue
Hospital, the oldest public hospital in the United States, has
been witness to 265 years of human drama. In this tradition we
have created the Bellevue Literary Review, a forum for illuminating
humanity and human experience. BLR is published by the Department
of Medicine at New York University. We invite submissions of previously
unpublished works of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry that touch
upon relationships to the human body, illness, health and healing.
We encourage creative interpretation of these themes.
Guidelines - The BLR now accepts online
submissions. We will continue to accept paper submissions,
but we enourage you to save paper, stamps, trees, and time,
by using our electronic submission process.
Bellevue Literary Review Prizes
$1000 Magliocco Prize for Poetry
$1000 Goldenberg Prize for Fiction
$1000 Kaplan Prize for Nonfiction
The annual BLR Prizes award superlative writing related to themes of health, healing, illness, the mind, and the body.
See site for guidelines in February.
