Burning Word is a literary magazine and forum with an extensive collection of fantastic poetry and prose. This is the third version of the site, originally launched 01.01.01 @ 01:01:01 GMT. We encourage and accept submissions of finished work. Burning Word is run and funded by volunteers who appreciate thoughtful artistic expression.

Version 3: September, 2004
We've tried to add specific feature requests, address some bugs and further build on the refinements of the previous version. Work will continue as time permits. New features include spell-checking, inline images (for contributing authors) and many tiny improvements to existing modules.

Version 2: July, 2003
So what's new? The entire content management system is new. Features include an integrated search engine, built in comment support for each entry, an automated online submission system (no more emails -- no more waiting in line for a response), notification settings for site updates and comments, an open submission policy supported by community moderation and feedback, an XML syndication feed that allows all those cool kids to read BW on their cell phones and similar devices, and much more.

What's the same? We still have some of the best readers, writers and contributors from all corners of the globe. We hope you like the new site and decide to participate in the process.

more to come...
