RE: Poets Of Blood.~Bleed for a Cause

The cover is cool....I give my permission on my verse for the book that i have donated for the cause if any questions feel free to email me....Jeff AKA Inkmaster

RE: Poets Of Blood.~Bleed for a Cause

If the book goes to print how is one to obtain a copy? And where can one buy a copy? This is such a great cause and I am proud to be part of it you never know anyone of us could be homeless one day life is so very unpredictable these days!!
In my opion it would be cool to do a book once a year for a great cause! Jeff AKA the Inkmaster

RE: Poets Of Blood.~Bleed for a Cause

i agree with jeff... if this were a yearly thing maybe we could raise enough awareness and help to really make a difference

Looking at the two, I see it fits better this way. Nice job!

Poets Of Blood.~Bleed for a Cause Vol.1

Ok Poets of Blood.

I need to know if you want your real name in the book,
along with your OP Id name.
If you want both let me know. I am nearly done.
All participants names will be in the book.
In the Contributors page at the end, and most of them
Are the ones that posted in poems that didn’t get finished.
But they can be in Volume two.
Not all poems are in the book, but all poets are.
The un-finished interactive poems in the forum
need to be finished, Blue Berry Bloodcake,
and at The Helm of the Silence Machine.
We like them
Charlie and Standingbear are editing Demonic Transfer.
The book will be created at createspace.com, and sold at amazon.com
The books proceeds will go to PADS Organizations in Illinois‘,,
And maybe so on to other states, Hopefully.
Here is a link to their site to PADS in Cook County, Il

RE: Poets Of Blood.~Bleed for a Cause

am pleased to be a part of this project and terribly honored that my poetry is going to sit along side this lit of names...

RE: Poets Of Blood.~Bleed for a Cause

I sat yay! Interesting read.

RE: Poets Of Blood.~Bleed for a Cause

Awesome job cover is looking really good!

RE: Poets Of Blood.~Bleed for a Cause

John and Dano- Im sorry I have been such a pain about the cover changes..lol! Im Just such a picky lil' one (as John painfully knows,lol) Anyway- I just seen the last changes, and send it back to shop, all wrong!!- lol, just joshin' ya- I really like it. I think it looks serious enough, and mature- with that gothic twist I just had to have!! The first cover was really impressive- but I thought it looked too junior high/ highschool horror-ish. Plus it had almost a R.L. Stein 'GOOSBUMPS' look to it, and I didnt want that confusion triggered- for a potential buyer. Really love this Dano- you came thro' m'man- we love it!
Madelynn

RE: Poets Of Blood.~Bleed for a Cause

RE: Poets Of Blood.~Bleed for a Cause

~ ok, wait one sec.. just caught somethin'- the roman numeral 1, after the word volume.. the color looks off- too gray, can you match it up with the rest of the wording there, at the bottom?? Also- Is it possible to go one more shade darker on the gray title wording? Really want to set a gothic- mood, and colors release certain chemical make-up which effect our moods, and draw subconscience interest- so my thing is Im really wanting to spark up all the horror junkies intellectually- Since sexuality sells, and that is not out marketing ploy.. it calls for some clever design( which-you Dano seem to be a master at!!)- let us know. We're almost there.. *smilez*
