Additional info

We are primarily looking for quality materials for school-aged readers from around 12 years onwards. Having said that, we won't be too excited seeing conventional materials for children. Rather than writing anything specifically for BLJ's readers, you should consider if we could find in your submission, however complex and philosophical, the elements that could enlighten and amaze the young minds. Read our Issues to see what sort of work move us! Each contributor receives one print copy by post. But BLJ remains a free online magazine and thus print copies are NOT FOR SALE. You may of course send in more than one category of work. But please do not send in materials of the same category again before you receive our final decision of your initial submission.
