Southwest Student Writers Author Book - Why We Ink





Wise Ink Launches InkPossible – Writing Contest for Teens

Project InkPossible is a dream finally come true for Wise Ink. When we began our beloved blogback in 2012, reaching young writers was a distant goal for the future.

Now, with the growth of our blog audience and start up creative agency, the future is now. We’re making good on pursuing our other passion: teens who write.
This summer, we’re publishing an anthology by 15 teens in the Twin Cities and awarding each a $100 scholarship. The idea is to get out in the community and reach young authors & book lovers and empower their passion with a hands-on publishing experience. 
And the published a book!! -- Why We Ink
