“What does the community think?” inkpop takes a unique approach to identifying and developing teen talent. Young writers are invited to submit their books, short stories, essays, and poetry for the whole world to see. Then, inkpop members select and rank their favorite works and post their feedback and criticism.

Each month inkpop compiles a list of the top five projects, handing over the work for their Editorial Board to read. The Editorial Board, consisting of HarperCollins editors, provides the final critique in the review process.
