**[inklewriter](http://writer.inklestudios.com/ "inklewriter")** has been up for about a month now. [George Osborne](/content/archives/685 "George Osborne uses inklewriter"/index.html)'s been using it. [indiegames.com](http://indiegames.com/2012/06/indie_tools_inklewriter.html "inklewriter on indie games") used the words "joy" and "magic". And in a couple of days, we'll be at [Games Brittannia](http://www.gamesbritannia.com/ "Games Brittannia") with Ian Livingstone helping a team of schoolkids get their own interactive stories up and running (and I'll be having teacher-flashbacks). So now it's _your_ turn to get involved. Yes, you. You like writing, don't you? That's why you're reading this. Well, here's your chance to write something and get it read by industry professionals. And if it's in the top 10 best short stories we receive before the 15th of September, it'll be published, **worldwide**, in our **Future Voices** inklebook. That's right: **inkle** is hosting [a competition for writers](/content/future-voices-competition/index.html), new and established, old and young, ferocious and funny. There's even a gentle cash prize to tickle under your nose, in case fame isn't enough. We love interactive stories. And while we're making them, we're not making them _fast_ enough. So we want you to help. Write a short interactive story using **inklewriter** \- get your friends to test it, edit it, make it the best it can be - and then email it to us at the address on the [rules](/content/inklewriter/future-voices-competition "Future Voices competition"/index.html) page. Then in mid-September, we'll lock ourselves in a room with Michael Bhaskar of [Profile Books](http://www.profilebooks.com/ "Profile Books"), Alexis Kennedy of [Failbetter Games](http://www.failbettergames.com/ "Failbetter Games"), Piers Blofeld, literary agent at [Sheil Land Associates](http://www.sheilland.co.uk/Sheil_Land_Associates/Welcome.html "Sheil Land Associates"), and Anna Faherty, lecturer in [publishing at Kingston University](http://www.kingston.ac.uk/postgraduate-course/publishing-ma/ "Publishing @ Kingston Uni"), and we'll pick the 10 best. Then we'll set about making the **Future Voices** short story anthology to sit alongside Dave Morris' **[Frankenstein](/content/frankenstein "Frankenstein"/index.html)** in the App Store, worldwide. Our tastes are eclectic, so write in whatever genre you like - just respect copyright, and laws, and stuff. And good luck!

But on the plus side, chrome for iPad works pretty well. see more AW One more bit of feedback. I tried to edit my story on my iPad2 on safari, and everything works for the most part except when I try to type more text into the story, after the first character, the rest of the text is either white, or invisible, making it kinda hard to edit stories on ipad safari. I don't even know if you support ipad or not see more AW In the course of writing for #futurevoices I wish there was a "save as" option - so I could do several things: 1) work on a prototype version and "save as" my public version so I could work on changes while not messing with the one I share 2) take an existing story and "save as" another story, so I have a reasonable starting point and work on another story using the first as a kinda "template" 3) make a backup copy of a story as a "save as" while I work on some ideas, and be confidant that I can "roll back" to the previous one (by "saving as" another story from that original) . see more J That's a great feature request, and certainly doable. We'll add it to the pile, and hopefully get it in! see more [Load more comments](https://disqus.com/embed/comments/?base=default&f=inkle&t_u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.inklestudios.com%2F2012%2F06%2F29%2Fannouncing-the-future-voices-competition.html&t_d=Announcing%20the%20Future%20Voices%20competition&t_t=Announcing%20the%20Future%20Voices%20competition&s_o=default#) live.rezync.com # live.rezync.com is blocked This page has been blocked by an extension - Try disabling your extensions.
