About

Bleeding Quill is a pocket-sized print and digital journal of edgy, politically motivated expressionism. We currently consider just about any form of artistic expression: short stories, poetry, editorials & essays, digital and traditional art, book and movie reviews, and anything in-between that can be transferred to magazine format. We are constantly seeking new and exciting talent for the magazine, and we are open to new writers as well as seasoned veterans. We consider all genres of prose equally. Science fiction, fantasy, mystery, horror, mainstream, etc., all have a place here, so long as the work is relevant to world issues. Bleeding Quill seeks prose that carries strong political overtones and speaks on wider issues.
