Submission Guidelines
Blueline seeks
poems and stories relating to the Adirondacks and regions
similar in geography and spirit, focusing on the shaping
influence of nature. We also seek essays that interpret the literature and/or contemporary culture of the Adirondack region or surrounding areas, including New York State, New England, or eastern Canda. The editors especially welcome ecocritical essays or non-fictional short memoirs based in the region's literature. Submissions must not have
been previously published. Simultaneous submissions are considered
as long as they are announced as such.
Submission period is
September through November.
Decisions in mid-February.
Blueline welcomes
electronic submissions, either in the body of an e-mail message
or in Word or html formatted files. Please avoid using compression
software.
PROOFREAD
ALL SUBMISSIONS. It is difficult for our editors to get excited
about work containing typographical and syntactic errors.

Blueline History
Blueline began in
the summer of 1978 as an outgrowth of a creative writing class Alice
Gilborn taught at North Country Community College. It was continued
by Alice and a group near her home in Blue Mountain Lake. After ten
years as editor, Alice arranged for the journal to move to SUNY
Potsdam where it has continued until 1998 under the editorship of
Anthony O. Tyler with an editorial board drawn from the English and
Modern Languages departments. In 1999, Rick Henry assumed the role
of editor. The original goals, publishing stories and poems about
the Adirondacks or other regions similar in spirit, have been
maintained. During the years Blueline has been at Potsdam there have
been minor alterations. In 1991 we bowed to the reality that we only
publish one issue a year. Until 1987 when the journal was first
published in a perfect binding, there had been two shorter issues
per year, a history which was perpetuated for several years by
calling the bound issue a double issue. Our content has gradually
broadened to include more work from outside the Adirondacks,
although we have kept a coterie of excellent Adirondack
writers.
Our content is
heavily devoted to stories and poems. We have a strong, national
subscription base, but are also fortunate to receive support from
the college, which assures that our future will not be
precarious.
