Inkwell is a creative organization dedicated to mentoring and connecting writers from around the world. Founded in 2015 by Dr. Ryan Thorpe and based out of Shanghai, Inkwell helps creative writers of all levels sharpen their skills.

Since its start, Inkwell has grown across China to start numerous workshops where writers are both challenged and supported to hone their craft. Inkwell offers workshops in fiction, reading, nonfiction, poetry, screenwriting, and translation as well as hosts an annual writing retreat to bring together writers from across China. It also releases work through its literary journal, Visions, to help support new creative writing voices and helps youth writers though its youth zine, PVLSE. Inkwell offers free reading and writing opportunities for both Chinese locals and expats at all levels of experience to foster a new generation of creative talent in China.

Inkwell是一个致力于指导和联系世界各地作家的创意组织。于2015年由Ryan Thorpe博士在上海创建，Inkwell帮助有创造力和专业的作家提高他们的写作技能。

Inkwell不断的在中国各地发展壮大，开设了许多研讨会，在这些研讨会上，作家们既受到挑战又得到支持，以提高自己的写作技巧。Inkwell提供小说、朗读、非小说、诗歌、剧本创作和翻译方面的研讨会，并汇集来自中国各地的作家举办年度的写作假日论坛，。我们还通过其文学杂志《愿景》发布作品，以帮助支持新的创作声音，并通过其青年杂志《PVLSE》帮助青年作家。Inkwell为中国本地人和外籍人士提供免费的阅读和写作机会，也致力于培养中国新一代的创意人才。
