What is Bright Lines 青思 ?
Bright Lines 青思 is a student-run online space publication to all NYU Shanghai students and visiting students.
We welcome creative writing, photography, visual, digital arts and more — if you have something to share or a project idea, whether it’s a podcast, reviews of recent music or books, interviews with interesting writers or artists, or your own creative work of any kind, Bright Lines 青思 is the place to share it.
Bright Lines 青色 is part of the NYU Shanghai creative platform Confluences 河流, sharing space with the annual print literary journal Poplar Review 杨高, the Literary Reading Series, the BackLit author interview series and the Poetry Post. In the future, we expect to feature visual, digital and performance arts content and more on Confluences 河流.

Winter is past, spring is here, I feel lost between the two.
My body is in the city, where does my mind go?
I got lost in New York the first day I arrived.

Submission guidelines and requirements
We are dedicated to free, inclusive and respectful expression.
Each submission is reviewed by Bright Lines 青色 editors. Bright Lines 青色 welcomes work from all students and we strive to publish everything we receive.
In some cases, editors may suggest or request changes to ensure that all work is respectful of broader NYU Shanghai community standards (we see this as an opportunity to participate in ongoing conversations about what those standards are and should be — not as a case in which editors exercise individual interpretations of “rules” that may or may not be explicit or official).
General guidelines
- Send all inquiries and submissions to nyushconfluences [at]gmail [dot] com
- Send all written work as an attached Word Document or shared Google Doc.
- Send photos (hi-res) and other digital material (video and sound files) as an attachment if possible; if your files are too large to attach, provide a link. For security purposes, we ask that such files be stored on an NYU server, such as your NYU Google Drive or another secure NYU-provided space. If this, for some reason, is not possible, let us know in an email.
- In the body of the email: indicate your name, class year and any other biographical info you wish to provide (major/minor, hometown, favorite food, hobbies, etc.)
