About

The Bear Deluxe has an open submission policy for fiction, essays, poetry and other forms. The magazine's Creative Review Group considers submissions on an ongoing basis. The magazine is moving away from using the term "environmental writing." Quality writing which furthers the magazine's goal of engaging new and divergent readers will garner the most attention. No detective, children's or horror.
