{Who We Are}
BULL is dedicated to examining the evolution of modern masculinity from the voices that most often get drowned out amongst the shouting and posturing—voices that often struggle in silence.
Our mission is to create a place where everybody can examine the complicated issues with masculinity in conversation with each other rather than in opposition.
{Who We Publish}
Anybody with a story to tell.
Whoever you are, whatever you identify as, and wherever you come from, we want to hear from you. If you’re hurting, if you’ve got things you need to let go of, things you need to let out, if you don’t quite know how you fit into all this we’ve been told we should fit into, if you think you’re the only one, we’re here to help you be heard.
{What We Publish}
Longer fiction & nonfiction up to 3500 words per piece.
Flash fiction & nonfiction up to 1000 words per submission.
Sorry poets, we do not publish poems, but we do like poetry in our prose, especially with lyric essays and flash fiction (and sometimes you can trick us into thinking your prose poem is actually flash fiction).
Please only submit in 1 piece at a time (in any category) and wait at least 3 months to submit after you have been accepted or rejected.
{When We Publish}
We usually publish one print issue a year and publish daily on the website.
Most stories published in the print issue were originally published online (unless we solicit work or have a specific call for submissions).
Generally, your work will be read within 2-3 weeks.
Accepted work is usually published within 3-4 months.

If you like what we do, have a few bucks to spare, and want to help us insure that we can continue to do what we do, we'd be supremely grateful for your generosity.

- We tend to publish prose up to 4000 words, but will on occasion consider submissions outside those limits.
- Writers of flash, we will consider multiple pieces of flash totaling up to 3000 words compiled in one document (please do not submit multiple flash pieces as separate submissions).
