About

Broad! is a online literary semiannual that publishes exclusively women writers and artists. (“Women” meaning female-bodied or female-identified individuals, by the way.) Women writers are severely underrepresented in literary publications today, and we hope to help change that. We accept poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction (particularly personal essays and nonfictional narrative), photography, and visual art. We’re especially interested in work that crosses or plays with genre. The writing, photography and art included within Broad!‘s pages are not required to be about women or be “women’s stories” (whatever that means); your submission may concern itself with whatever you wish, as long as you are female-bodied or -identified and produced it yourself. Send us your stories about roadtripping, tree-creatures, terrorism, World War II or a person with angel wings growing out of hir back. Send us your thoughts, beliefs and emotions on the page.
