Call For Submissions
Jewish Book Council is delighted to announce this year’s open call for submissions for fiction and poetry. The submission period opens on January 16, 2026 and closes at midnight ET on February 16, 2026. Please submit through Submittable here.
We publish fiction by both emerging and established writers, and in many different genres. We’re particularly interested in stories that expand commonly held ideas of what constitutes the Jewish experience.
We encourage authors to familiarize themselves with work previously published by JBC before submitting. Submissions will be considered for both Paper Brigade Shorts (print) and JBC’s digital editorial arm, PB Daily. All authors will be paid for published work.
Submission Period
