Writer's Guidelines

Boulevard strives to publish only the finest in fiction, poetry, and non-fiction (essays, interviews, etc.). Therefore we ask that you send only your best work. While we frequently publish writers with previous credits, we are very interested in publishing less experienced or unpublished writers with exceptional promise. If you have practiced your craft and your work is the best it can be, send it to Boulevard.

As with any magazine, before submitting, read several recent issues to get a feel for style, content, quality, and form of the work we publish. Sample issues can be purchased at a cost of $8.00 each (please include five first-class stamps for postage). Our subscription rates are as follows: $15/3 issues (double issues count as one issue); $22/6 issues; $25/9. (For subscriptions outside of the US add $6.) Please make checks payable to Opojaz, Inc.

Please mail submissions and/or subscriptions to:

Box 325
Richmond Heights, MO 63117
