Young writers, give me your WIPs. Seriously.

I'm building a Discord community for young writers and I want to meet more people who are working on stories.

So tell me about your book.

What's it called?

What's the genre?

Who's your main character?

How many chapters do you have?

Are you published somewhere already, or is it sitting in your drafts folder collecting dust? 😭

I'm making Ink and Quill Writing Community, a Discord server for writers ages 11–19 to share their work, exchange feedback, brainstorm, talk about characters and just meet other people who understand the weirdness of having an entire fictional universe living in your head.

We're currently a small community, but we're already having actual conversations about our stories and writing styles, and I want to keep growing that.

If you're interested, come join us:

And if you don't want to join, feel free to just tell me about your WIP anyway. I genuinely want to hear about it. I'm a dork. 😭

Any other teen writers looking for people to yap about their WIPs to?

Okay listen 😭

I made a Discord server called Ink and Quill Writing Community because I wanted somewhere young writers could just... talk about writing.

You know when you have a character you've been thinking about for three weeks and desperately want to tell someone about them?

Or you wrote a chapter you're actually proud of and want somebody to read it?

Or you need help figuring out a plot hole?

Or you just want to scream about your favorite character?

That's basically what we're trying to make.

We're ages 11–19, LGBTQ+ friendly, and we have channels for:

Sharing chapters

Writing progress

Poems

Quotes

General discussion

Books/WIPs

Feedback

Brainstorming

And more

We're still tiny, but that's kind of the point. I want this to become an actual community where people recognize each other's stories and genuinely support one another.

No racism, homophobia, transphobia, bullying or harassment.

I'm also a writer myself, so I'm not just sitting behind a mod panel telling everyone else to participate. I'll be right there screaming about my own characters with you. 😭

If that sounds like your kind of place, come join us:

Looking For a Writing Group?

Hey everyone! Me and a friend recently started working on a Discord server called Ink and Quill Writing Community, and we’re looking for people who might be interested in joining and helping us grow it into a fun, welcoming place.

The main idea behind the server is to create a space where young writers and creative people can share their stories, get feedback, talk about ideas, make friends, and just have a place where their creativity is encouraged.

Whether you write novels, short stories, poetry, fanfiction, or you just love creating characters and worlds, you’re welcome here!

A few things about the server:

Ages 11-19 (teen-focused community)

• A safe space where racism, homophobia, transphobia, bullying, and harassment are not tolerated

• You can choose your own pronouns so people can address you correctly

• Writing channels for sharing work, brainstorming, and getting feedback

• A friendly community where you can chat, make friends, and talk about whatever you’re interested in

• We have Carl Bot set up to help keep things organized

• You can swear casually (as long as it’s not being used to hurt people)

• Dating/relationships are allowed, as long as everyone is respectful and follows the age rules and boundaries

• We’re trying to make this feel less like a strict classroom and more like a cozy group of people who love stories

We’re hoping to build a community where people can support each other, improve their writing, and find other people who understand what it’s like to love creating things.

If that sounds like something you’d be interested in, the invite link is below! We’d love to have you join us and help make Ink and Quill into something awesome. ✒️

Question About a Book I'm Writing

So, I'm writing a book called Winter Frost on Glass, and the main character is Lute Di Rose, I started the book because the only other Asexual book I'd seen was called Loveless, and it was mainly centered around the sexuality, how do you all feel about having a character who's sexuality doesn't control their entire story, it's just another part of them that grows them into a person? Lmk.

Let Me Into Your Mess, by Koko Delilah Doyle,

This is a piece of artwork I made for my friend going through..a lot😅 He'll probably never see this but I want him to know I love him and I'll always be here for him if he needs someone to talk to about his problems or just to sit in silence. Nobody deserves to exist in pain alone.

Would you read this book?

Hey, everyone! I'm a teen writer hoping to officially publish my work one day. Right now I've written about 55 pages across roughly 20 chapters. I've only posted a few chapters on Wattpad because I wasn't sure whether the story would connect with readers, so I thought I'd ask for some honest opinions here.

My novel is called Winter Frost on Glass.

The story follows Lute Di Rose, an asexual teenage boy who survived sexual assault but has blocked out the memory. As the story unfolds, he's forced to confront the triggers that have shaped his life and slowly piece together what happened to him. Along the way, he meets Jackson, another teenage boy who grew up with severe neglect, abuse, addiction in his family, and struggles of his own. Despite their very different personalities, they form an unexpected connection as they learn to face their pasts together.

The book explores found family, healing, self-acceptance, trauma, LGBTQ+ identity, complicated family relationships, and learning how to keep living after unimaginable experiences. It's an emotional story, and my goal is to write something that feels honest and that people with similar experiences can see themselves in.

If that sounds like something you'd read, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Would this premise interest you? If so, reach out to me and I'll help you find out where to read it, and I'd genuinely appreciate any feedback.
