Submission Guidelines

Submissions may be sent to our street address, addressed to the relevant editor at: PO Box 13 533, Tauranga, or via email as detailed below.

Fiction
    On presentation aspects, Bravado would like short stories up to 3,000 words in Times New Roman, size 12 font; double-spaced with indented paragraphs on white paper. E-mail submissions are acceptable in Word format as an attached document to Fiction Editor Sue Emms to fiction@bravado.co.nz  No more than one story at a time, please.

As far as content is concerned, other than no erotica for erotica's sake, or the extremes of genre writing (we're unlikely to publish very simple romances or straight horror, for instance) the doors are wide open. Good, strong writing is the main requirement; the content is up to the writer. What we say is 'surprise us with writing that is edgy and original, showy and brave.'

Payment is $NZ20, plus contributor's copy.
Poetry
    Any style, submit to Poetry Editor Bryan Walpert to poetry@bravado.co.nz or via street address. Payment is variable, up to a $NZ10 contributor's fee, or contributor's copy. Up to five poems per submission.
Viewpoint
    Bravado welcomes essays that are bold, brash and opinionated up to 2,000 words. Payment $20. Submit to Prose Editor Jenny Argante to street address or by e-mail to prose@bravado.co.nz. Only one essay per submission. Payment by negotiation, not less than $NZ20.
Artwork
    By arrangement, please enquire first to Co-ordinating Editor Jenny Argante prose@bravado.co.nz . Our colour cover is always by a New Zealand artist, usually from the Bay of Plenty. Black and white artwork is welcome for the inside pages.
Deadlines
    For March issue: 1st January. For July Issue: 1st May. For November issue: 1st September.

If submitting to the street address, please remember to include an SSAE or IRC. We are unable to be responsible for extra postage costs.
