    About Bad Press

    Guidelines

    Bad Press publish those things quod vide. We usually only accept work native to a certain archipelago of coteries. But submit something if you want, especially if it's a conceptually uncompromising, linguistically innovative, and politically informed poem. We're usually short on artwork/visual poetry, and essays. Fiction would practically have to be "David Foster Wallace's 'The Soul is not a Smithy' meets Mark Leyner's 'La Vida' . . . on PCP!".

    Advertising

    If you have an event to publicise, and this event of yours, it fits somewhere in a kind of UK peace movement / socialist movement / anti- war movement milieu, or some foreign equivalent, let us know well in advance and we'll run a free ad in the Bad Press Serials. For everyone else, rates are pinned to Tatler's (06/06/2006: £1,200.00 p/p).

    Review Copies

    You may have them. You're a sweetie.

    Courtly Hatred

    Bad Press is organised by Jow Lindsay, Marianne Morris and Jonathan Stevenson. We have no fixed publication schedule and no very good record, either. We have carts for everybody.
