Bellingham Review defines a hybrid work as one which possesses more than one meaning-making mode (language, genre, art, anything visual, and/or surprise us!). By its nature, hybridity borrows and subverts traditional form to create anew. If your work doesn't fit into conventional boxes, this space is for you.
Our word limit is 4,000. If the word count stands less than 500, you can submit up to 3 pieces in a single document. Otherwise, please limit the submission to one piece.
Please do not submit additional work until you hear back from us. Reporting time normally varies from one to six months.
