Wild Writers INK
Where Readers Come First, and Stories Run Wild!
Welcome to Wild Writers INK - a bold, welcoming community of storytellers based in Western Idaho. We’re a local group of authors centered around the Canyon County area who come together to critique each other’s work, hone our craft, and collaborate on creative marketing strategies. Our passion for writing is matched only by our dedication to our readers.
At Wild Writers INK, our philosophy is simple: readers first, authors second. Every story we write is crafted with our readers in mind. From Historical Fiction to heartwarming Children’s Tales, Cozy Mystery to Inspirational, or Fantasy to LitRPG, we strive to deliver books that captivate and inspire. As writers, we support each other to foster growth, but we never lose sight of who we’re writing for: you, the reader.
Our membership spans a diverse range of genres and voices. Here are just a few of the talented authors in our community:
