Blood & Bourbon is here to showcase all things hard, gritty, and raw. That time you got in a bar fight, that time you went to an S&M club, that time you had an opinion that sparked a heated argument over a family dinner. We’re actively seeking submissions in the following categories:

• Short fiction or non-fiction, 5000 words or less
• Opinion pieces or essays on any subjects, 5000 words or less
• Poetry, up to three pieces per submission

We accept simultaneous submissions and reprints. We provide author copies upon request with a small donation of $5.

We are now open for submissions until August 12, 2023. The theme of the next issue is going to be Choices.

We’re interested in diverse voices and want to hear from you regardless of what you look like, where you’re from, what you believe, who you like to fuck, et cetera.

Send your material to bandbsubmissions (AT) gmail.com. Your submission should be attached as a .doc, .docx or .rtf file, with your name, address, email address, the story title (if applicable) and total word count at the top of the first page. Visual art submissions should be attached as hi-res .jpgs or .tiffs. Include a 50-word bio in the body of the email or in the Word doc.
