Dreaming of writing a bestseller?
We can help.

Just some of the writers we've helped achieve their dreams...

“The readers report on what became my debut novel with Poolbeg, 'The Last Saturday in July', was invaluable. I got clear and insightful feedback on everything from plot holes, to characters I didn't need, and guidance about stronger character development I definitely did need.”

“Your help made SUCH a difference!! I think I'd still be stuck at 30,000 words if I hadn't had that zoom with you”

“I walk into bookshops and want to cry with joy at my book...beside my favourite authors.”

“Joining Writer's Ink turned my writing life around. The group is where I learnt the craft of writing. Through the support and critique of this tribe I have shaped four novels, the first two now published by Poolbeg.”

“Inkwell has revolutionised my writing.”

“Whatever magic you worked during that session, it got me 'unstuck' and I flew through writing the rest of the novel.”

“Vanessa at Inkwell was a fantastic help, putting me in touch with an agent.”

“I learned the nuts and bolts of the industry, receiving information which wasn’t available anywhere else.”

“Becoming a member of Writers Ink was a turning point in my writing career. As well as thriving in a welcoming community of fellow writers, I found my voice, learned to think more critically about my work and continue to build better writing habits for life.”

“Inkwell's in-depth readers reports gave me great guidance in moving forward with my debut novel.”

“It wasn't just that you helped me to figure out the plot etc, it was that you saw potential in the book. Your encouragement gave me such a boost and I know it contributed to me getting a book deal.”

“Inkwell offered advice and support and, most importantly, encouragement.”

“I had no idea how Inkwell, this brainchild of Vanessa Fox O'Loughlin, would change my life.”

“Joining Writers Ink took me from being a short story writer to an Irish Times bestseller in four years. It has been like a writing apprenticeship for me, not only improving my writing skills but also teaching me about the publishing industry in a wonderfully supportive environment”

“I've wanted this kind of help for so long. For the first time in years I can relax and enjoy the writing instead of being stressed because I didn't know where the story was going. This has revolutionised my writing.”
