My creative energy has been split. I’ve had a project floating around in my head for awhile. I had the domain purchased and waiting, but I lacked the energy to do it. It seems as though I am surrounded by positive people who have given me the energy to move forward, so here we go…
I Bleed Ink is an online magazine celebrating the literary and artistic talents of the LGBTQ community. We are in need of submissions for our targeted launch date of November 1, 2009.
Please submit your literary submissions as a MS Word attachment. Submissions must be original works with rights held and retained by the contributer. There are no length requirements, however, longer works of fiction may be separated into multiple posts. Submissions with an overabundance of spelling and grammar errors will not be published.
Art submissions should be submitted as clear, high resolution jpegs or gifs. This includes photography, paintings, or line drawings.
If you are a performer, such as a Spoken Word artist and you would like to submit your work, please send links to your video performances.
Let’s support, celebrate and encourage the creative minds that keep the minds of the LGBTQ community stimulated. Send your contributions to submissions@i-bleed-ink.com. Keep up with what’s happening with the magazine by adding them to your twitter. Spread the word!

You should submit something!
Sounds similar to the “Spotlight” feature on LeadTheWayOut.com. I ran across another website that was doing something similar as well, but I can’t remember the name. I’ll let you know if it comes to mind. It seems that the turnout though was not that well. I find that to be a major problem withing the black LGBT community. Hopefully you’ll have better luck with it. Good luck to ya.

Patrice, I hope to prove you wrong.
FYI- I Bleed Ink isn’t focused just on the black community. Everyone is welcome…
Sounds like a winner, look forward to it. blessings.
Esther´s last blog ..Good Karma [Inspiration]
Hey, Esther! Thanks so much!
Alix, I encourage you to prove me wrong and I hope you experience better results than I did. Good luck to you! My page was also open to everyone and I featured many that were not african-american. You have nothing but well wishes from me. Oh, that website was sistahsforsistahs.com. It appears that they’ve since changed their web design and have removed the link to the page that offered reader submissions for poems, short stories, and creative pieces of work.
Stay grindin’!
Patrice
