Inked Voices
In 2013, I began working on a platform for writing groups to workshop their manuscripts privately online. The platform launched publicly in 2014 and quickly evolved into a space for writers looking for online critique groups or partners, and then a place for professional development.
Today, we are an online literary arts organization that helps writers make meaningful connections with other writers, and supports writers as they do the deep work of creating and revising. At our core is the concept of "small community." Our members run groups for critique, accountability, book studies, writing challenges, write-ins, and more. Our team helps writers connect to groups, find partners, or get new initiatives started. If you took a zoomed out view of Inked Voices, you'd see many small groups collected under one roof.
We also run small group workshops with literary agents and editors, and webinars on the craft and business of writing. I believe writers rise together.
