The Pale Bull

The Pale Bull is a creative writing magazine published out of Bard High School Early College Baltimore. We are seeking poetry, short fiction, creative non-fiction, and art from high school students currently enrolled at BHSEC Bard. We especially encourage you to submit work that plays with format, medium, and genre. Take this opportunity to try something new, discover your voice, and share your story.
