About

Buddy publishes poetry, fiction, creative non-fiction and art. We are a safe space for writing about mental health issues, but your writing doesn’t have to be about mental health. We’re looking for all styles of writing from all types of people, about all topics. Be adventurous, be brave, be imaginative, be experimental, be simple if you want to be simple. When in doubt…submit!

Fees Notice: This project charges fees (or requires purchases) for all submissions, and they do not offer monetary payment for accepted submissions.

Before Submitting

We cannot guarantee that the information on this page is correct. It is not unusual for publications to evolve or close without notice. We do our best to keep up, but it isn't always possible. Duotrope listings do not imply endorsement or recommendation of the project being listed. Before submitting, you should use your own judgment to determine whether the project meets your standards.

  • Always read the full guidelines provided by the publisher.
  • Try to read at least one previous publication to get a better idea of what the editor would like to see.
  • Unless the publisher's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
  • Be professional, patient, and persistent.
