Information about your publication: <\/strong><\/td>\nLaunched in November 2011, The Bad Version is a new take on the literary-cultural magazine. Its name comes from the collaborative art of screenwriting, where the first attempt at a scene, that wild idea that gets the process going, is called a ?bad version.? Likewise, this magazine is dedicated to beginnings: to pieces that are taking risks, trying to broach new ideas, experimenting with new forms, starting new conversations. With each piece?fiction, poetry, or essay?followed by a short response that offers an alternate perspective on the subject at hand, The Bad Version?s novel structure immediately immerses the reader in an active dialogue, which continues on the website (www.thebadversion.com<\/a>).<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
What type of submissions are you looking for?: <\/strong><\/td>\nPrimarily fiction and poetry, as we independently develop non-fiction pieces with writers. Though we are also open to non-fiction submissions, whether of whole pieces or ideas for pieces. Our non-fiction tends to be a mix of personal essay and cultural criticism, written in a conversational style. We don’t have specific genres or types of writing we look for when it comes to fiction and poetry– we just want to read what you have to write!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
