To have a group of specialized people who will offer interesting and fun writing challenges. This kind of challenges will help you grow as an author and they will be focused on things like: Start writing a novel, gain discipline, meet deadlines, improve spelling, grammar, polish your writing and learn the aspects you need to take in count before publishing a book. And in those challenges there will be people from all over the world working for the same purpose with the incentive of having a community that supports you and the enormous rewards that you can obtain such as personal achievements and cash prizes.
The Authors Cup is Inkspired signature competition, which will start on May 2 and last 4 months. Here any author within the platform can participate regardless of their nationality or literary genre. It is open for everyone! On Inkspired we believe it is important that writers participate in this kind of competition, since it will help them to achieve short-term goals and to evolve their writings. Practice is where you learn the most and within it, the best stories will be recognized and awarded.
According to Galo Vargas, Inkspired CEO, participating in The Authors Cup means challenging yourself and growing as a writer. "The idea is to: motivate yourself to continue writing, learn to promote your stories and connect with other authors in the community," he added.
The Authors Cup was created with the mission that writers carry out their projects, and discover how far they can go. That is the key.
"The Authors’ Cup is that bar that only by jumping it you will know how high you can jump. A writer constantly needs high bars, challenges, discomfort."
"The Authors Cup is a space that allows amateur writers to publish their creations and start their career in the literary field."
"We are used to stay in our comfort zone, but when we participate, we challenge ourselves to leave that area and learn new ways of creativity and inspiration."
"I think it's a good way to get inspiration and to prove yourself, your way of writing."
"I think the same as Lyd, it would be a challenge for everyone, to improve and learn with others, and to know our skills better."
"It’s a way to prove ourselves, to show how far we can go and grow as writers."
"Você vai poder receber uma validação extra no seu trabalho as a writer and quem sabe sair com a dollars no purse, or that não é nada mau."
It is an opportunity to create or improve your writing routine in the same time that you challenge yourself.
It is a yearly chance to put your abilities to the test with a lot of challenges, to share your work, to interact with different authors and to have a chance to earn a cash prize!
The contest "The history remains" has been closed, and after reviewing all the comics involved, the Inkspired editorial team has decided, unfortunately, to cancel the contest due to not reaching the minimum participants quota required. One of the conditions for our competitions to be official is that they have a minimum number of users involved (this is always written in the bases of each contest).
However, we want to publicly thank all the writers who did participate, and invite them to participate in the contests we constantly create. At the moment, we have a new one called 'From every day routine, an art". We hope we can count with your participation in this and other contests that we will publish soon.
Your stories are a work of art.
How would you explain the instructions to get out of bed every morning in an artistic and fun way? What words would you use? What resources would you add? Something so simple, but at the same time so complex. This is the moment when we want to exploit everyone's creativity. Therefore, we have opened the new contest of the month, which is called "From every day routine, an art". The mission is to write a short story - of 400 words maximum- with instructions on how to get out of bed each morning in a original way. The most creative and humorous text will be the winner.
