BarBar is here to offer you as many avenues as possible, to get your voice heard.
We are a genre fluid platform. We are a medium fluid pattern.
We publish everything from the standards to the experimental, and every genre bending type in between. Just write it, tag it, and submit it.
“[BarBar’s] edits are truly valuable, and I will surely implement them in these poems as well as my overall writing practice.”
— Cameron Atlas Chiovitti
“I wholeheartedly believe that BarBar is the sharpest literary magazine out there.”
— Stephanie McConnell
We want the ideas from left-field, the flash of inspiration at 3am, the flicker of inspiration on the highway you had to pull over onto the shoulder to scribble down, a slice-of-life, the story you’ve passed around to friends, neighbors, and strangers you’ve passed on the street (regardless of if they liked the story or not), and those chapter excerpts from that epic fantasy masterpiece you’ve been working on for years.
We accept many types of submissions, including: poetry, fiction, flash fiction, plays, musicals, lyrics, essays, nonfiction, novel excerpts, photography, and art.
