Ink (&) Ashes
According to Ink (&) Ashes, winter in Chicago does not tease people. It starts settling on everyone in October.
Ink & Ashes is founded on the belief that all art, writing, and poetry is – or more rightly should be – a multi and extra-sensory experience that people need to express and share.
The website is professionally put together and any poet, artist, or writer would be proud to have their work featured on Ink (&) Ashes.
It is refreshing to see a creative style done in a clean format. The site is user friendly, easy to navigate and loads quickly. The art is sophisicated and the writing divine.
They want to publish a broad range of writers, from the new and emerging to the well seasoned.
Submission guidelines are easy to find and also request the bio of the poet/writer/artist to be included with their work. Ink (&) Ashes also hosts various radio events and live events at a local cafe.
