Who We Are
Publication Opportunities
We provide a platform for young writers to showcase their talent through our literary journal. Every submission is a chance to be featured and reach a global audience.
Mentorship Programs
Pairing aspiring writers with experienced mentors, our programs aim to nurture talent and provide personalized feedback. This one-on-one guidance helps teens grow in their writing journey.
Monthly Writing Contests
Encourage creativity and competition through our monthly writing contests, where teens can submit their works for a chance to be published. Winners receive recognition and prizes to fuel their passion for writing.
Submission Guidelines
What We Want:
Ink Bleeds is all about self-expression, imagination, and creativity! From heartfelt poems to eerie horror stories to whimsical fairytales, - if you poured your heart and soul into it, we want it.
