The Best American Science and Nature Writing

Submission Information:

• The Best American Science and Nature Writing is open to submissions from publishers, editors, readers, and writers. (Writers are welcome to nominate their own work, though I appreciate if you keep it to three pieces or fewer.)

• Submissions for work published in 2022 are now closed, only for work published in 2023.

• Eligibility: Pieces must have been published, online or in print, by an American periodical in 2023. They must be about science, nature, or the environment. There are no length restrictions or requirements. Essays are eligible, poetry is not, nor are excerpts from books. Submissions are open through December 20, 2023. (Work published between 12/20 and 12/31 may be submitted until 12/31.)
