Welcome to The Ink Well Golden Quill Writer Showcase!

In this series, we are selecting one writer to showcase in each edition. The selected writer may be a rising star or an author whose work consistently demonstrates the writing skills we promote in our writing prompts and our catalog of fiction writing tips.

In all cases, The Ink Well Golden Quill will showcase a community member in good standing in The Ink Well who regularly publishes in our community and supports other community members by reading and commenting on their work.

In addition to showcasing one of the author's recent stories, we will also reward a Golden Quill badge to the writer.

Story Excerpt: A Thief's Good Luck

"We have to help her," I suggested. Elwin stared at me like I'd grown horns on my head. "I know you are new to this but don't be naive. She's the king's daughter. Let them teach him a lesson…"

And then we heard it — the loud flapping of heavy wings against the wind. Everyone around the town's square gazed up as the gigantic roc with its powerful wing strokes glided smoothly through the air, its strong feet with sharp talons stretched out to pick up its prey.

What We Loved

Every good writer has a different way of reaching their readers, pulling them in, and coaxing them to immerse in the story.

Hive account@kemmyb creates a mood and uses imagery and a powerful sense of place in her skillful world building. She takes us on a journey with characters who feel tangible to us, even if they exist in a land or a time we can never visit in real life.

Author Accolades

Hive account@kemmyb's stories are thoughtful, moody, readable and enjoyable, and they always leave us wanting more.

Well done, Hive account@kemmyb. Keep writing!

To collect your badge, please pop into the #ask-theinkwell channel in our Discord server, and we'll send you your badge in DM.
