Interleaf Ink

Interleaf Ink is more than a manuscript service — it’s a space for connection.

Interleaf Ink was created by a lifelong reader of every genre and format — from dog-eared paperbacks to poetry collections and digital drafts. It was also built by a working author who understands what it means to hand over a manuscript and wait.

This is a homegrown company, shaped by real creative work and real creative community.

Community isn’t an afterthought — it’s the foundation.

About

My name is Cailyn Dougherty

I’m Dr. Cailyn Dougherty, and I specialize in literacy and creative writing, with experience working with major journals as a peer editor providing evaluation, feedback, and applying research best practices and formatting.

I publish academically under my given name and use a pen name for my creative work. As a published poet, I bring a strong eye for clarity, voice, and detail to every project, helping others refine and strengthen their work.

I am actively pursuing publication for my novels.
