You are invited to submit your original fiction, non-fiction, poetry, or photography and visual artwork for a chance to be featured in Brattle Street Review. It costs nothing to submit. Our staff is comprised of volunteer students and the website is privately funded. We are here to assist fellow students and alumni in their artistic endeavors, we are not here to take your money.

We are thrilled to announce that, in cooperation with the Harvard Library, all content published by Brattle Street Review, including submitted stories, poems, photography, and artwork, will be archived in the Harvard University Archives, located in the Pusey Library within Harvard Yard. The Harvard University Archives is the primary repository for the documentation of almost 400 years of Harvard’s intellectual, cultural, social, religious, and administrative history.

What does this mean to you? Works you submit to Brattle Street Review, if published, will be collected and stored in the University Archives to ensure that your voice and work is not lost to future researchers. Simply put, your work will outlive you.

Submission guidelines:

Only current students or alumni of Harvard University may submit work for consideration. Verification of student or alumni status will be required prior to publication. The easiest way to verify your status is to submit using your student or alumni email address.

Please submit only one piece per submission. Feel free to submit often, but each piece must be submitted individually.
Submit only previously unpublished works. Unpublished works created in Harvard classes are eligible to be submitted.

By submitting, you grant Brattle Street Publishing the right to publish your work in digital and physical format without the expectation of compensation. This includes the annual paperback, hardcover, and eBook editions. 
Please limit short stories to 2,500 words and poetry to 500 words. (Exceptions can be made for extraordinarily written pieces.) 
Feel free to send simultaneous submissions, as long as you withdraw them immediately if accepted elsewhere. Withdraw by emailing Editor@brattlestreetreview.com
Be patient with us while we carefully consider your work. Submission does not guarantee publication
