Find out who will be joining the Write Bloody family this Wednesday as we announce the winners of our manuscript contest. Make sure to check back here because, really, what could be more exciting than finding out who will be joining these weirdos in the fight for poetry that’s not lame.

Write Bloody is looking for talented amateur filmmakers to work with WB authors in their area to create a promo video. Must be proficient with music and editing. Email writebloody@gmail.com if interested.

Write Bloody book contest videos are now up and in one place! Please visit our contestant playlist on our Youtube channel to view the submissions and  show your support by upvoting your favorites. Thank you so much for being the best fans in the history of fans ever!

Hey, folks!

Check out this here fine sampling of our upcoming Fall titles!
Fall 2013 authors include Ernest Cline, Jade Sylvan, Cristin O’Keefe Aptowicz, Daniel Nester, Aaron Levy Samuels, and Gregory Sherl…therein lies magic. See for yourself.

No easy task. Hundreds and hundreds of submissions this year to join our family. These 24 or so advance into the final round where they submit a video of a poem read via youtube (can be creative) and a full 40 poem manuscript. Deadline May 15.

14 editors choose and decide what is the best of the best, where just a handful of these finalists win a book deal and distribution with write bloody.

If you know them, give the author love for making it this far. The competition was stiff as a splint this year.
