SUBMISSIONS

Bay Area Generations: A reading series for the ages hosts a curated, monthly literary reading series and show. Submissions for each show are submitted for consideration to be read in a live reading, by the authors and poets, held in select venues San Francisco and in Oakland, California.

Open Submissions

Bay Area Generations maintains an open submissions process. Writers, poets and musicians and performers may submit at any time during the year to a specific monthly reading and show.

Paired Submissions

We host a paired reading of partners of a different generation. Your work must be submitted together with a partner and, if chosen, read together by the authors at that upcoming reading.

Submitted works are curated by a guest curator and two Generations board curators who review all submissions and select the final pieces that will appear and be read in that month’s reading .

To lean more on “How to Submit,” please review our Submission Guidelines.
