Spill Some Ink in the Inklings Write-a-Thon

The Write a thon is a fantastic opportunity to push yourself creatively and write along with others supporting you! It’s a chance to grow as a writer, try new ideas, and most importantly, have fun.

OUR NEXT EVENT:
Write-a-Thon Kickoff Event
Saturday, March 7, 10:00-11:00 AM PT
Join us to kick off the Write-a-Thon with energy, inspiration, and a sense of possibility. This optional kickoff session is designed to help writers of all ages ease into the week ahead. We’ll spark ideas, set intentions, and create a shared sense of momentum as we begin our writing journey together.
Whether you already know what you want to write or you’re still figuring it out, this session will help you feel grounded and ready to begin. This session is open to youth, adults, educators, mentors, parents, and supporters alike.
Community events are open to all Inklings, but you must register to attend.
Inklings under 13 years old must use a parent/guardian email address for registration.
Please review our community guidelines below.
Inklings Community Event Guidelines & Important Info
- If you are under age 13, you MUST register for events with your parent or guardian’s email address, not your own.
Inklings over the age of 13 may use whatever email their parents/guardians prefer them to use. - If fewer than 5 Inklings are registered 24 hours before an event begins, SYI may choose to cancel the event and notify registrants.
- Spilling Ink events are in Zoom Meeting format, meaning if you choose, you can have your camera and mic on. If you prefer not to, that’s okay too! We find that live and real-time participation from our Inklings enhances our events, and supports your writerly and creative development.
- Author Interview events are in Zoom Webinar format, meaning that your camera and sound will be off. The chat will be open for you and your fellow Inklings and we’d love for you to come with questions for our interview guest!
To keep our community safe and fun, please be …
- Kind: We’re here to build each other up, not tear each other down
- Age Appropriate: Our community welcomes writers from ages 8–18. To make sure everyone feels comfortable, we stick with topics you’d find in a PG movie. Please keep your shared work free from violent, harmful, or adult-only themes.
- Safe: Don’t share personal or sensitive information like your home address, phone number, or any other personal information.
If you have questions about what you should or should not share, talk to your parent/guardian. Parents/guardians – we encourage you to regularly discuss Internet safety with your child.
