We are currently working on our next advice page, which will be dedicated to a problem that all writers face from time to time: Writer's Block. This advice piece will provide an array of things to try in order to get past writer's block. Please check back for this new advice page at the end of the month! Our previous advice pieces can still be found on the Advice page.

We recently held a short story contest on our forums. Congratulations to our winner, Freja (aka Angie Silvey)! Her story can be found in the Short Story Contest Entries thread in The Short Stack (for viewing by registered members only). Check the forums for future contest dates. Also, new Starter Sentences are added from time to time, so stop by and try one, or more, out! For our registered members only, we also have a section in which authors can share segments of their fiction works for critique, or just for fun! There's a lot to read, so register today to get started.

Be sure to stop by our Library! We currently have seven available titles, with one additional title coming soon!

In an effort to better serve you, we have updated our Links page, as well. We have added a few useful links, including small descriptions detailing what the listed site is all about.

As for marketing, we have finally decided that, at this time, we will not be offering any marketing services other than writing Press Releases and designing web sites. We can offer our authors services through Bowkerlink, but distribution and registering with online retailers, for instance, will be the responsibility of the author. We are more than happy to try and guide our authors through this process, however.

We have updated a few of the services pages, so be sure to look them over again!

If you have any suggestions on how we can continue to improve upon our site, or just want to give us your feedback, feel free to send us an email, or share your thoughts with others, as well, on our message boards.

Thanks for visiting Penned, Ink, and don’t forget to keep checking back here to see what else is new!
