Please note that BOMB does NOT accept outside, unsolicited pitches/submissions for interviews, artwork, or articles; this content is curated and generated in-house by the editorial staff and its contributing editors.

BOMB Magazine accepts unsolicited poetry and prose submissions for our literary supplement First Proof by mail, from January 1 to August 31. Submissions sent outside these dates will be returned unread. Manuscripts should be typed, double-spaced (prose only), proofread, and should be final drafts, not exceeding 20 pages in length.

Those considering submitting to BOMB are strongly encouraged to read the magazine to best understand its content. Sample copies of the current issue of BOMB are available for $10.00 plus $2.50 for Media Mail shipment, or $5.00 for Priority Mail shipment.

Please include a self-addressed stamped envelope for reply and return of a manuscript, allowing 4 to 6 months for a response. If you want your MS returned please be sure to include adequate postage. We cannot accept “Coupon Réponse-Internationale”—please do not send them. If postage is inadequate or in an unaccepted format we will try to email you but otherwise you will not receive a response. We regret we cannot report on manuscript status, nor offer editorial feedback. You may send your work to the following address:
