Inked Voices is a platform built for that process. We’re a place for writers who want a community of support and learning while sweating in the trenches of drafting, revising and rewriting.
With Inked Voices, writing groups and workshops can collaborate intimately despite distance and strange schedules. We are not a giant critique forum, but a collection of small workshopping communities.
If you’re looking for a better way to run your writing group, help finding your own small community, or a tool for workshopping in your class or MFA program, we would be glad to help you.
Submissions post to your group
workspace.
Members receive an
email to critique it by the
deadline.
Members go to the group to
critique,
making inline and overall
comments on a clean copy.
Critiques display on a single
document,
visible to the whole
group. Save a PDF of your
critiqued work.
Inked Voices is tailored to online workshops. Dig details? Explore our features.
Submissions have a critique period, followed by a review period for Q&A. After, critiqued work leaves the group and is retained on the author’s Dashboard.
Groups are invitation-based, private to members, and hideable.
Built-in deadlines, action items and email notifications keep the group on track.
Decide deadlines, max word counts, group size and admissions standards. Edit any time.
Send reminders, invite or remove members, and adjust deadlines. Have one or more leaders.
Make inline and overall comments. Critiques auto-save and are editable.
Stay objective by critiquing a clean copy. Read completed critiques in a separate window to learn from group comments.
Non-members can review your work, too. Send friends and beta readers an email link to critique.
Review and compare all critiques in a single document. Filter by reviewer.
View your critiqued work on your Dashboard anytime. Save or print as a PDF.
