Guidelines:
We’re looking for work that reignites our idea of what an essay can do or be. We’re particularly excited about flash essays, ekphrasis nonfiction, lists, diary entries, erasures, manifestos, intense lyricism, auto-theory, translations, and revelatory ruptures in form and syntax that breaks, and remakes, language anew.
Some of Josh’s favorite writers include Hanif Abdurraqib, Amina Cain, Tisa Byrant, Garth Greenwell, Billy-Ray Belcourt, Kate Zambreno, and Christina Sharpe. Some of our favorite nonfiction we’ve published in Brink includes work by Gyasi Hall, Julie Moon, and Sarah Minor. The best way to check out what work we’re drawn to is to read work published in Brink.
Please submit no more than one piece during each reading period that does not exceed 3,000 words.
