Beauty is in the eye of the pen holder Choose between 7 glorious nibs. There are two categories, my bespoke fountain pen nibs (with their creativity-inducing engraving) and the Pro-Flex calligraphy nib. Please read my FAQs to help you make the best choice when choosing your nib. Fountain Pen Nibs: Made exclusively for our fountain pens, all of my nibs are tipped with incredibly hard-wearing iridium for super smooth writing, and are plated in a 14k gold for a classically stunning look. As a bonus all nibs can be interchanged so you can easily write in different styles whenever it suits you. * Extra Fine Semi-Flex - A beautiful extra fine fountain pen nib with flex! This is a great middle-ground between the Pro Flex and our classic fountain pen nib, with its smooth writing experience and minimal maintenance. By applying a little pressure the nib will flex from 0.5mm to 1.5mm. * Fine - A springy and smooth nib perfect for delicate thin strokes, with a smidge of flex if you're feeling creative. * Medium - The go-to nib for the author, journaller or note-taker. This is a firm and consistent nib for everyday writing. * Architect Fountain Pen Nib - This is the opposite of the Italic nib, with a broad cross stroke and a thin down stroke. It's my personal favourite - the effortless big juicy lines make it my go-to for sketching and everyday use. It's a BB (double broad), which means it has nice line vairation and strokes around 1.2mm at it's thickest. You can also use the nib upside down for a super fine stroke. * Cursive Italic Fountain Pen Nib - is a specialized nib that is designed to produce line variations in handwriting. It is a type of italic nib that has a smooth, rounded tip that is slightly flattened on the sides. This flattening creates two distinct writing surfaces: a broader downstroke and a thinner horizontal stroke. The term "cursive" refers to the flowing nature of the script that is produced by this type of nib. The BB designation stands for "double broad," indicating that the nib produces a broad line that is twice as wide as a standard broad nib. With practice the cursive italic nib can produce stunning handwriting that is both distinctive and elegant. * Titanium - This beauty is the ultimate flex as it's a lot softer than stainless steel nibs. It's perfectly paired with our fountain pens to practice calligraphy when you just want to get cracking without having to prep all your nibs and ink or you're out and about. Titanium is also bombproof so it will carry on writing for decades to come. It's the best flex nib with the least maintenance. Pro-Flex - Extra Inky I've designed the prototype Pro-Flex with an innovative leaf spring which moves with the nib. It's a 3D printed white feed (which by happy accident changes colour depending on the ink used in the pen). It's early days but we've had rave reviews from customers and calligraphers alike and it seems to be performing as well as the original Pro-Flex for consistent ink flow when fully flexed. All feedback welcome to further improve the design! Please note this uses a specialist calligraphy nib which will need replacing (buy replacements here) read more about this special nib here: Extra Fine Semi-Flex - Extra Inky I've applied the same 3D printed white feed design (which by happy accident changes colour depending on the ink used in the pen) to the Semi-Flex nib for improved ink flow. Because this is fitted with a flexible fountain pen nib, this option is for the casual calligrapher who likes the flexible fun this nib provides without the faff of changing a professional calligraphy nib when it corrodes.

The LAMY Dialog 3 range features the stunning designs of Franco Clivio, resulting in pens that are unique in the way they function and endlessly pleasurable to use every day. This Dialog 3 pen is a rare design indeed - a fountain pen with no cap! Instead a clever twist-action allows the 14kt gold nib to retract and a valve protects the nib from dirt and drying. Even the clip is a fascinating design feature on this pen. When the nib is twisted out the clip retracts into the barrel, so as to not get in the way of your writing. When you finish writing and retract the nib, the clip raises back out again. Refill with either LAMY T 10 cartridge refills or with bottled ink using a LAMY Z27 converter.

How to spot the biggest potential pitfalls for your story.
Acharya Atre says Lakshmibai did not even know how to use a fountain pen. Most of her writings she did with a match stick. Many writers among us use a fountain pen. But they could not create a heart touching story like Smrithichitre. Lakshmibai has poured out in her writings, the fire at the tip of the match stick she used. The hearts of our writers do not pour out through the tip of their fountain pens.
