BOMB periodically accepts submissions of previously unpublished poetry and short fiction through Submittable. We encourage submissions of adventurous work that push the boundaries of form or content in some way. Our submission period is closed. If you would like to be reminded of future submission opportunities, sign up for our Weekend Reads newsletter.

We host an annual literary contest, alternating between fiction and poetry each year, with a distinguished guest judge, and occasionally open for unsolicited submissions at our discretion. We encourage you to read the magazine to get a good sense of the work we are interested in. 

Please note that we do not consider unsolicited pitches for interviews, portfolios, or reviews. Our content is generated in-house by the editorial staff and our contributing editors.

Care to join us?

BOMB Magazine's mission is to deliver the artist’s voice. We develop, publish, and preserve artist-generated material, spotlighting artists in conversation and offering a unique insight into the creative process. We are looking for bright, arts-minded, detail-oriented people to join our team. BOMB interns are tasked with various web, editorial, archival, circulation, events, podcast, and marketing duties. The internship involves all departments at BOMB, and our aim is that the experience is well-rounded. 

BOMB Magazine Internship:

The internship is set on a quarterly schedule, aligned with our print cycle. However, this is not an exclusively editorial internship. BOMB interns see, as a whole, how a nonprofit arts magazine works, and our hope is that every intern leaves with more experience and skills than when they began. All interns will be trained on BOMB systems as well as fact-checking, transcription, and proofreading. We ensure that each intern receives an exit meeting and a resume review. We also provide guest speakers from publishing and the arts. These are AMA sessions – we bring in professionals in the arts to broaden the knowledge of the field and share our community with our interns. 

The BOMB office is located in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. We offer hybrid internships but on occasion can accommodate a fully remote intern. We require a three-month commitment with a minimum of three days each week, Mondays being mandatory. 

Internships are unpaid at this time. If you are a university administrator interested in partnering with us for paid opportunities, please contact our Digital Program Manager, Akriti Bhambi, at [email protected].

Applications can be sent to [email protected] with the subject INTERNSHIP with your resume & cover letter attached. Please include in your cover letter what season (e.g. spring, summer) you are applying for, the days you are available to intern, and the number of hours per day you are available. 

BOMB Magazine Archive Collections Internship: 

BOMB Magazine, known for its legendary interviews between artists, from 1981 onward, is offering internship opportunities for students interested in publishing, archival work, and library science. The Archive Collections Intern will gain hands-on experience in publishing, archives, and digital asset management. They will work with a rich collection of materials, from print issues from 1981- 2025 and 44 oral histories from 2014-2025. Expect to process, organize, and prepare these materials for acquisition by research libraries, as well as contribute to maintenance of BOMB’s extensive online collection. This is a unique opportunity to build skills in special collections, digital file management, and metadata creation. Ideal for self-motivated individuals with sharp attention to detail and an interest in library science or archival work. 

Please email a cover letter and resume to [email protected] with the subject ‘INTERNSHIP - Archive’.
