Step One
Build your reading profile
Genres you read, tropes you adore, tropes you'd rather never see again, and the content you won't take on. This is you as a reader.
Step Two
Pitch your project
Title, genre, tropes, word count, stage, and 300 characters of hook. This is what you need read — and it's judged separately from your taste.
Step Three
Match, then talk
You only see writers who clear your limits and whose limits you clear. Chat unlocks when you both say yes. No cold messages, ever.
The gate runs both ways.
Most writer-matching falls apart because enthusiasm isn’t compatibility. Someone may love the premise of your 120,000-word epic fantasy, but may be better suited to give feedback on historical romance. Inklings checks genre, tropes, content limits, spice levels, and length for both parties before either of you appears in the other’s deck. If it doesn’t fit, it never starts.
