publishing in bhag is easy
Send in your best work: the work you want to share with the world because it represents who you are, or who you are exploring being. Bhag won't try to decide whether your work is good enough; you decide for yourself. We sort our published work into five sections: Visual Art, Literary Art, Interviews, Philosophy, and Public Journal. Not sure if your work fits the sections listed above? Send it in anyway! We'll try to find a place for it in bhag.
here's what you get in bhag
You get your own introductory page, to tell people who you are, and page for each work you publish. On your intro page you can present an autobiographical statement, a statement of purpose, or even a resumé. Bhag will list your submitted work(s) on this page, with links to view the works themselves. Publish in one section or several. You get a separate intro page for each section in which you publish: visual art, literary art, philosophy, life journal, public journal. (In the Interviews section, each interviewee receives an intro page, and each interviewer receives a brief biographical statement at the bottom of the interview.) Your intro page information can be identical across sections if you wish, or tailored to each particular section. Although bhag reserves the ultimate right to decide which section will contain your work, please let us know which you prefer, and feel free to negotiate with us.
publish whenever you like
Since bhag posts new works continuously throughout the year, there are no deadlines; you can submit works at any time. And within certain practical limits, you can publish as often as you wish: several times a year, once every couple of years, or once in a lifetime, if that's what you prefer. We generally need about a month to process and post any submission, so we recommend limiting your submissions to no more than one per month.
publish in any language
You may publish in any language. Please also include an English translation of your work. Automatic (but imperfect) translation is available online. See the reference section in bhag's links.
bhag's editorial policy
We try to keep editorial review at bhag as open, inclusive, and flexible as possible. Bhag reserves the ultimate right to decide what will be published on the site. We do a standard review of new submissions for the following purposes: (1) to screen out threatening or hate-based content and recipes for violent acts or tools of destruction, (2) to offer submitters our constructive criticism of their work--not to accept or reject, but simply to offer our thoughts, and (3) to recommend the correction of apparently unintentional errors in grammar, spelling, or word usage. Any constructive criticism will be performed with courtesy and respect and with awareness of the limits of our own expertise. The submitter retains the right to disregard our criticisms and recommendations and publish their work "as is".
getting your stuff to us is easy
Send your work (story, article, image, whatever), as an email attachment, to editor@bhag.net. If it is a short written piece, you can even send it as an email message. Written works may be of any length not exceeding the equivalent of 15 printed pages (when single-spaced, at a standard type-size such as 12-point Geneva). Longer works can be submitted for publication in installments. Send visual works as gif or jpeg files. Filesize should be 300 to 900k per image. If you are not sure how to do that, email your questions and we will try to help you. Bhag will take care of making the html pages that will contain your works on the site; you won't need to deal with that.
