DATABLEED [M A L W A R E] 

 

Introducing a new online monthly poetry showcase: submissions are currently OPEN.  

 

Each month, DATABLEED will present the work of one poet, showcasing either a single creative project in its entirety or a small range of work. All formats are welcome and encouraged: text, image, text and image, sound, video, etc.  

 

We are particularly interested in experimental work from new and/or underrepresented writers as well as established poets.  

Please submit 8-15 poems or an equivalent longer poem or multimedia pieces. Send your submissions in the following formats: PDF, word doc, jpeg or MP3 or MP4 to datableedzine [at] gmail.com.

 

Please include the email subject ‘DATABLEED Malware’ and include a 50-word bio and a short description or blurb for your submission in the body of your email.  

 

Submissions for DATABLEED [M A L W A R E] opens on 15 November 2024 and closes when all monthly slots are filled for one calendar year (and will then re-open as necessary). Watch this space or follow us on Instagram @data_bleed for updates.
