A feminist horror magazine showcasing personal and analytical perspectives on the horrific by women/trans/non-binary writers.

At Bloodletter the definition of horror is expansive, inclusive, and cooperative. We offer an exploratory space for women and non-binary writers to share their lived experiences of horror and the theoretical implications of the genre through fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and film criticism. A featured artist is selected to illustrate each issue of the biannual magazine, resulting in an unconventional and truly unique multidisciplinary digital platform.

Lore

One woman, trans, or non-binary artist is selected to illustrate each issue of Bloodletter. The featured artist will create artwork in response to each written piece in the issue, thereby defining the visual language of the issue.

Featured artists will be required to:

Produce a maximum of 22 illustrations within a three-month period
Work with strict deliverable deadlines
Work collaboratively with the editor-in-chief throughout the issue’s development
All 2D art mediums are welcomed. Submissions are accepted year-round. Artists in contention will be invited for a follow-up meeting with Bloodletter’s editor-in-chief before selections are made.

Featured artists will receive a $250 stipend.
