Nice work. A really great idea, I'm working on something similar for musicians though. Nice niche you've picked, I hope it all works out for you. As someone else has already pointed out, you need to fix that contrast my eyes find it hard to focus between text and backgrounds besides that I would definitely use this.

A lot of people have recommended this but I'm not sure the best way to really go about doing this... do you have any ideas?

While I am not a fully-fledged designer I would experiment with changing the background colour to an off-white, something like: #EFEFEF - you'll notice if you do that then things are easier to read immediately because content is being separated into its respected sections.

The white you have around each submission is fine, changing the background colour seems to make it easier (at least for me) to read the site. There are probably other ways, but this is the first immediate thing I can recommend.

Thank you very much.. this is definitely something I will tweak simply due to the amount of people requesting it.
