BRAWL is a poetry and visual arts magazine where submitters choose their readers. We publish anything strange and true! We pay $5 for accepted poems and $10 for accepted visual art work.

BRAWL Lit offers an opportunity for poets and visual artists to choose their readers. Run by Taylor Franson-Thiel and Martheaus Perkins, BRAWL offers a transparent space between readers, editors, and submitters. 
We are always open and submissions are always free. Writers have the option to expedite or request feedback for a fee. Our magazine publishes two poets every week on a rolling basis. The magazine promises no form acceptances; if accepted at BRAWL, the editors send mini notes with specific praise for your poem. We pay $5 for accepted poems and $10 for accepted visual art work.

Submit 1-3 poems, simultaneous subs are great, and we encourage submissions from BIPOC, LGBTQ+, women-identified, Palestinian, emerging, and disabled writers, as well as submissions from educators and any other historically marginalized writers.
