Baily's Beads Seeks Submission
The 2011 edition of Baily’s Beads, the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford’s award-winning literary magazine, will feature a special section of poetry by local K-12 students.
Editors Mike Reeder, Sarah Dorben and Steve Abplanalp are looking for writing that focuses on sensory images.
“Rather than focusing on rhyming and big topics, concentrate on finding new ways to describe scenes and feelings,” Abplanalp suggested.
“We’d like to see honest emotion and original imagery rather than abstractions,” Dorben said.
Submissions from K-12 students should include written permission from a parent or guardian for the work to be published if accepted.
Baily’s Beads also seeks submissions from Pitt-Bradford students and community members. Poetry, short stories, novel excerpts, memoir, travel writing, personal essays, plays and translations are accepted year round, but the magazine staff will only consider work for the 2011 issue until March 31.
Work should have a cover sheet with the author’s name and contact information, but the author’s name should not appear anywhere else on the manuscript.
Poetry should be single spaced, while prose should be double spaced. Writers may submit up to 20 pages. Submissions should be dropped off at 103 Blaisdell Hall or mailed to Baily’s Beads, 300 Campus Drive, Bradford PA, 16701.
