Looking for a writing community with contests, feedback, and actual momentum?

Ink & Iron is a friendly writing community built around stories, craft, creativity, and the joy of challenging yourself alongside other writers.

Our short story competitions are one of the beating hearts of the server, with new main contests launching every third month, plus smaller events, games, prompts, and creative challenges running in between.

Whether you’re entering your first contest, polishing your fiftieth chapter, practising dialogue, building characters, sharpening a blurb, or just looking for a place to stay motivated, there’s a place for you here.

Join us for:

• Writing contests and prompt challenges
• Craft exercises and skill-building games
• Feedback, critique swaps, and idea sharing
• Community events between main contests
• A welcoming space for writers of all levels

We also have a few extra tools available on the website, including a shout-out swap generator, paperback cover creator, and the growing Forge section for character sheets, system messages, item sheets, manuscript formatting, and more.

Ink & Iron is run by writers, for writers. We do not pretend to have all the answers, but we do believe in shared challenge, honest feedback, and building a place where people can grow without feeling like they are doing it alone.

Come join Ink & Iron, take part, and see what you can forge.
