INKPOP! Make Your Mark




The official announcement: "HarperCollins Publishers broadens its digital offerings with the launch today of inkpop, the first interactive writing platform for teens backed by a major U.S. publisher. Inkpop, created by HarperTeen to attract young readers and writers, combines community publishing, user-generated content, and social networking to connect rising stars in teen literature with talent-spotting readers and publishing professionals."

So basically you can:
  • Upload your own writing
  • Help spot talent among the people on the site
  • Influence who gets a look from the HarperCollins team -- and possibly a contract.
Writers and readers should have a lot of fun here.

Their cool blog has already featured me and I Heart Daily, too. Enjoy, readergirlz!
