Submissions for Versal 10 are open
until January 15, 2012!
We look for work that is urgent, involved, and unexpected. Well-crafted traditional, non-traditional and innovative forms, hybrids and translations are encouraged.
We do our best to keep our response time under two months, though this can be longer for art submissions. If you're curious about our decision-making process and rejection policies, read on here.
Please prepare your submission according to these guidelines, then follow the link below.

Ready to submit?
We use an online system for all submissions, without exception.
Once you have an account with us, you can log in at any time to check the status of your submission(s) or upload a new submission.
First, we want to say thank you. It is your support these last nine years and in the (hopefully!) nine to follow that enables us to make the Versal you know and love.
The submission fee is $2. All proceeds from the submission fee go towards Versal's production costs. You can also opt to add a $1 donation for contributor payment, which Versal will match through other fundraising activities. Fees will not be refunded.
You can submit for free between October 1 and October 7, 2011. You can also pre-order Versal 10 or become a subscriber when you submit and we'll waive your submission fee.
