Blue World Literary Journal publishes multiple forms of literature, including poetry, fiction, and creative non-fiction. Writers are welcome to submit whatever they would like as it relates to the theme of a piece; however, we are particularly interested in themes relating to grief, nature, winter, life, death, love, humanity, and hope.
Founded in November of 2023 by Colby Flade, Blue World Lit seeks writers of all ages and cultural backgrounds. Submissions are currently open for Issue Two! |
