One of the Rail’s many idiosyncrasies is that we do not have an Editor-in-Chief; each of our editors has autonomy over their section. If you are interested in submitting a pitch, press release, or manuscript, please direct it to the attention of the editor your piece would concern.

You can contact all editors at [section]@brooklynrail.org (e.g. [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]). Due to the volume of pitches received, editors cannot respond to all emails. View our full masthead. 

Please note:

Our Fiction section does not accept unsolicited submissions. 

Beginning in 2026, unsolicited Poetry submissions will be welcomed in June and December only.

We do not have a physical editorial office; our 253 36th St. location is an administrative headquarters, meaning that all editorial work is handled remotely. Please do not send hard copy press releases or submissions to our administrative headquarters; they will not reach their intended audience this way.
