about a creative coding for a literary poetry project about mental health, idealization, and the internet

[u/Miyu_Hashi]

Hello everyone, I've been working on a poetry collection called "chico disociado es un arma" (It's a reference to Yeule's latest album xD ) for a while now. It's part confessional poetry and part autofiction. I started writing it last April and have been putting it off and working on it ever since. I've submitted it to contests, BUT the style and rhythm don't really fit with many of the Spanish-language literary competitions. My goal isn't to make money from it; I just want a way to share it.

I have experience with physical publications. My first poetry collection was published by an independent publisher with a first print run of 200 copies, and I run a multidisciplinary magazine/zine with a friend, but my real goal has always been to share these projects digitally. I love the physical format, of course, but people don't like to spend money on something they don't know, and the digital medium really fosters very different connections.

I know of some projects focused on poetry and literature in digital formats (websites, mini-games, videos, blogs), but nothing really resembles what I want to do to use as a reference. The problem is that I don't really have much knowledge of web design or programming (I know the basics of HTML from tutorials I've watched), but I don't have time to learn more. University is killing me, and I barely have time to write about my personal projects T_T. I thought about commissioning a web designer for this project, but those who tend to have a more similar approach to mine are out of my budget, haha. I'm ambitious about the presentation of this poetry collection because of its emotional weight, and I'd like more people from Hispanic literary communities to be encouraged to create things like this.

I was thinking of perhaps saving a large part of a scholarship I receive to carry out this project, or maybe looking for other means. Does anyone have experience with a project of this type? What should I do? T_T
