Oh wow! the idea definitely overlaps. We need more readers/consumers and also content writers that actually could trend this site all around with a good SEO.
For me, it's mostly indonesian based writers who write in English and Indonesian. We do have a few published authors here as well and I will be connecting with them soon. I'd be happy to chat as well so we could combine our ideas and expand them more. I know that these days AI reigns but honestly, there's still market for people who enjoys to read/reading from human's work. We just need the space to do that and more support for that hehe 😄
I am currently working on the manifesto and will be happy to chat as today I am going to hear back and discuss with the potential collaborators.
~ see you around and looking forward to be talking with you 😊
😍 - AI has its place, but creative writing and the human connection is something different. From what I've seen, fans love being able to interact with their favourite writers. Getting back stories about favourite characters, supporting writers they like (and it costs them nothing other than their original stake).
I feel that we need some professional marketing help, though, if we want to succeed.
yes!
Hi @shanibeer,
Thanks for tagging me. I'm not good at marketing, but I am good at grunt work. If there is any hands-on writing, etc that needs to be done, I volunteer. @jayna is far more polished and savvy than I am, but I do know her plate is full (whose isn't?). Great initiative. Getting published authors to join is potentially fruitful.
Let me know how I can help. My husband is looking at some serious health issues in the future (let's hope not). If these materialize, I will have to pull back. Otherwise, you can count me in for grunt work.
Hello @agmoore 😍
Sorry to hear about your husband, I hope that works out well.
Although grunt work is a necessary part of life, I was thinking more about @macchiata's request for a judge or judges for the contest. The folks involved with The Ink Well are all much more skilled than me.
I think you are skilled, but yeah, we do judging I guess all the time.
The Inkwell team is certainly practiced in this, and I would certainly be part of that if you thought it would help.
😍
