Brink is an American in-print literary journal dedicated to publishing hybrid, cross-genre work of emerging and established creatives who often reside outside traditional artistic disciplines.

Brink has two reading periods per year: January and July. 

 July 1 - 31 we will open for submissions engaging the theme of Obsession.

We accept a variety of hybrid work from work that resists categories, Nonfiction to Fiction, from Poetry to Translation. 

 We are interested in writing that presses boundaries by using more than one medium to tell a story; work that looks and feels different on the page. Additionally, we look for submissions that engage the issue's theme and the notion of being on the brink. 

Please submit only unpublished pieces and notify us if your simultaneous submission is accepted elsewhere.

Open submissions to Brink Literary Journal are free.
