Bellezine '26 is looking for submission of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry in English and in any other language. If your writing is not in English and you have a translation, feel free to send that too. We might publish both. Otherwise, simply tell us in your cover letter which language you are writing in so that we can seek out a fluent reviewer.
Publication will take place in summer 2026.
