Welcome to the Inky Orchard, the place to receive quick, clever, constructive critique for your short stories, novels, poems, songs, screenplays and more. IO strives to be a comfortable, calm and relaxed area for aspiring authors to post their work and get that much-desired, much-deserved feedback, as well as a place to meet great people of all ages and talents.
Jo is the creator of IO and the main administrator. She's always happy to help with any issues, requests, suggestions, or just to chat. You'll probably find her running around the Writing Showcase, or busily organising threads about.
Liz is second administrator. She's enthusiastic about taking on projects and absolutely loves writing and the writing process. She would be more than happy to make editing your novel her next project to get all fired up about. She also has a love affair with run-on sentences. If Jo's unable to help with anything, Liz is who you come to next.
