InkNQuill was founded to amplify the voices of marginalised writers and individuals. As such, we strive to develop a network of publications with other small-presses, zines, literary magazines, and journals (called intersectional lines) for publications to join, and intersectional writers to submit to. This means the writers we serve will always have a place to call home with the network of publications.  

Given our mission  – to develop intersectional creative writers who are critically aware and engaged within their practice – we acknowledge that we are only one institution and the power we hold comes from togetherness and community.  

Therefore, we have thought of this project as a two-way benefit: intersectional creatives sign up for the commitment to supporting intersectional writers and creatives who need the support more than ever. 

The commitment means publications shall: 

• Publish work by intersectional creative voices (i.e: short stories, zines, poetry) 

• Serve a marginalised and/or intersectional community of creatives (such as writers, artists, or interdisciplinary creatives) 

• Be committed to championing intersectional creative work 

Effectively, it means that intersectional writers have a list of intersectional-friendly publications to submit to, which boosts their credibility within the world of contemporary creative writing
