Meet the Bound By Ink Writers Group!

Hey everyone! Welcome to the big reveal of a wonderful writers group,  and we call ourselves

 Bound by Ink!





a Rafflecopter giveaway



JESS HARVEY aka WRITE EYE

Hi! I’m WriteEye, aka Jess Harvey. WriteEye is the punny name I used for our old group, but I kind of became attached to it so it stuck. I write YA & NA Fantasy and Science Fiction, so I guess the pirates theme wraps it all together: pirates existed in real life, fantasy and in sci-fi! My current WIP is seaQuest DSV meets The Guardians of Time. It centers on the descendant of Atlantean rebels who would rather run a show with her rock band in Boston than fight an age-old war, and the engineering intern on a top-secret submarine who has enough secrets of his own to drown them all.

I came to Bound By Ink from our previous incarnation of a WanWc (Write a Novel With Cupid) team. I will be heading up giveaways and some of our Twitter work.

For our Blog Party I am giving away THREE pitch critiques. The pitches must be 35 words or less, OR Twitter-length pitches, with one critique per person, making for three winners. To enter, just fill out this Rafflecopter form, follow me on Twitter (easy entry if you already do!) and I’ll select three winners at the end of the INK PARTY!

TALYNN LYNN aka INK GIRL

Hey everyone! I'm Ink Girl. I chose this avatar because I love writing with ink, anything inspirational, and I love all things girly. If I can inspire writers (myself included!) it puts a smile on my face. My current WIP is something I'd liken to The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and the Princess Diaries. All girl, all fun:) It's in the earliest stages, but the main characters are girls from different cultural backgrounds  who met through a writing group. The girls become best friends while writing a story together that becomes all too real for the ink to stay inside the pages of their story.

For my give away, I'm donating a PDF sample full of Inspiration and creativity I wrote for my Agent Ink Workshop. To enter, just fill out this Rafflecopter form:

Operation Agent Ink

UPDATE: PLEASE FILL OUT THIS QUESTIONNAIRE AFTER YOU SIGN UP. Have you ever wondered what agents were dying to find in their inbox/slush pile? There have been many times I entered a contest and not even received a comment, not even from one of the agents. Or maybe the agent was kind enough to leave a comment that simply said, "Sorry, this just isn't what I'm looking for, but I love the premise and your voice." I always walk away feeling unsatisfied. If I had known exactly what the agent wanted beyond, "YA" or "Fantasy" I might not have even entered a contest I knew I wouldn't win! Even more, I wasted a very busy agents time! Well, your time of guessing is up! OPERATION AGENT INK to the rescue! That's right! This workshop will help aspiring authors get on the list of an agent's WISH LIST! When the workshop is over, your manuscript will be ready to view by a group of AMAZING agents who are dying to see what you've wri...

Writer In Motion CP feedback

Hey beautiful guys and dolls! Here it is! My CP feedback edited story. Had a hard time with this, but I hope it makes sense. I've got a post I'm working on I plan to put up after Thanksgiving. Here ya go. Enjoy... Every morning I wake to carnival day.  Today, though, I have my key. If I don’t use it before midnight, my way of escape will gone. It’s a silver key with a twisted metal handle, a sapphire stone half moon and engraved stars. There’s a tiny inscription on the moon, but it’s so small, I’ve never been able to read it.I’ve always kept mine in my jewelry box, but today, I string it on a ribbon and tie it around my neck. My two best friends will be wearing theirs, too, and I wonder how they will escape this carnival of dreams. “What’s it for?” Cress asks as we stand in line for the swings. I run my fingertips over the entire silver surface. “I don’t know. It belonged to my grandmother,” I say. “Whatever.” She shrugs her shoulder in a dismissive way. “Have ...

Workshop 10

Today, let's get readers hooked from the very first sentence. If you do, you are off to a great start and hopefully a great first chapter. We are going to focus on the first and second sentence and how you can draw readers in while introducing two major items about your book: 1. Your MC 2. The main conflict. How? Is it really possible to do this in only TWO sentences? YES! Example: My name is Snow, like the white powder that falls during winter, though I don't know what my mom was thinking because it was ninety degrees the day I was born. I turned twelve the year I married a man I hated and thirteen when my first baby was born. This sentence tells us a lot. It shows us a little about Snow's personality, it hints toward a shortened childhood and could possibly point to a different time era. I also can definitely see the conflict. Can you? You only have a few minutes to make a good, first impression. Make sure you wow your reader enough they'll actually t...
