About
This community interest group is a welcoming gathering open to enthusiasts and anyone curious about writing tools and accessories. This includes fountain pens, dip pens, pencils, paper, inks, nibs, wax, seals, journaling, calligraphy, handwriting and more.
If it has to do with the act of writing, making a mark of any kind, or the creation of pens and ink, someone here would enjoy chatting with you!
Whether you're new to the world of pens, papers, and ink, a seasoned collector, or land somewhere in between, come to share knowledge and explore the world of writing instruments and accessories. This community is here to support you and to have fun because there's nothing nicer than a shared interest. Come and be nerdy with us.
