     Welcome to Drunken Boat’s online submissions system. We accept submissions ONLY via this system. We do not read submissions sent to the editor’s address or via snail mail. Artwork or media which the online system cannot support can be sent to editor@drunkenboat.com.

Please read the following guidelines:

  • Poetry: No more than 5 poems per year. Please note that we ARE NOT currently accepting poetry submissions. Poetry submissions made at this time and listed as "fiction" will be automatically rejected.

  • Fiction & Nonfiction: No more than 5000 words, unless you first query the genre editor via the editor’s address.


  • You can expect a reply in about 3-4 months. We regret that, due to the volume of submissions, we are unable to give personalized criticism.

    Call for Submissions: Open the City: Drunken Boat, alongside the Asian American Writers' Workshop, seek works in a variety of media (poems, artworks, essays, photography, translations, architectural blueprints, videos, web work, mixed media, documentary, theatrical production) that respond to the question of Asian and Middle Eastern-American populations in urban spaces. These can take a particular city as point of departure, can verge to cities around the world, engaging with the notion of how the forces of displacement and accretion intersect to create identity in a particular environment. We envision Chinatown, Little India, mosques in metropolitan areas, ethnic groceries, foreign film theaters, etc. all as possible sites for investigation. Deadline: October 1st. Make sure to select Asian-Americans on the City as your submission's genre.

    Make sure to add editor AT drunkenboat.com to your Contacts or "Safe List" to ensure that our response will reach your Inbox.
