Our mission since our inception in 2009 remains the same: dedication to helping each writer develop their art (I long ago stopped referring to writing as a craft—it is art) We accomplish this by sponsoring writing contests for those who have signed up for our newsletter, offering free monthly webinars, and curating articles and essays germane to your interests, and posting your own websites and books for sale in our store.

Historically, we have posted only contest entries but moving forward we encourage you to submit poetry and essays which we will post and allow feedback from our community of writers. Bear in mind that we don’t allow trash talk about public figures, and though we are editors, not sensors, we filter out what we consider pornographic or demeaning.

We hope you share our belief that our finest aspiration is to connect to our fellow creatures, and our words are the conduit.
