Mission Statement / Editorial Focus
edivider is a nationally distributed journal of new art and literature produced by and representing the graduate students in the Writing, Literature, and Publishing program at Emerson College in Boston. Published twice a year, we welcome art, fiction, nonfiction, and poetry submissions from new, emerging, and established artists and writers. Each spring, we host the Beacon Street Prize (a nod to our beginnings as the Beacon Street Review), and in the fall we host the Redivider Blurred Genre Contest. Winners of these contests receive cash prizes, and their work appears in the front pages of our print magazine. And if you’re wondering about the name—it’s a palindrome!

Do You Have Any Cover Letter Advice?
Keep them brief; it's the work that counts.
What Do You Look For In A Submission?
Something fresh, lively, and well-written that conveys knowledge of genre conventions, a willingness to depart from those conventions, and that converses with its literary predecessors.
What Advice Do You Have For First-time Submitters?
Please polish your work and make sure you're submitting your very best stuff.
Do You Have A Favorite Unsolicited Submission Discovery Or Anecdote?
Oh, yes--several per issue.
Who Is Your Ideal Reader?
The graduate student getting a sense of the literary landscape; the favorite aunt or uncle realizing for the first time literature can do such things; the high-buttoned business class looking for an escape.
