BAD DOG Mag

A long year of shit. Many have continued to thrive. BAD DOG (and me) did not. We've been on a long hiatus as we redesign the site, change our publishing methods, and more changes. We can't wait relaunch BAD DOG and share more poetry SOON. God bless your black hearts.

Deadline is TONIGHT at midnight PT to apply to work one-on-one on your nonfiction, poetry, or fiction manuscript with @JennyHeijunWills, @JWhitehead204, or #PashaMalla! #WTMentorship #EmergingWriters #EmergingPoets #diversecanlit #canlit @CanadianPoets @CNFCollective

Reminder: our submission period is currently open! Send us your poetry, fiction, nonfiction, visual art and those strange beings in between until March 15th! See our submission guidelines @ alwaysuntethered.com/submissions/
