I'm Lewys, a writer from Wales and based in London! I write something new every week (45 weeks so far), as well as host a monthly radio show where I deep-dive into certain essays and play related tracks! I also have an unpublished manuscript, but currently got that in the back of my mind. I'm just really exploring different mediums at the moment and trying to get more eyes on the work I publish every week :-)
Hi, I'm Dave. I live in a small town in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. My work in process novel is about two women who fall in love in 1930s New York and the consequences of their forbidden relationship for one of them. This is my debut novel, which is currently under the microscope of developmental editor and I'm on pins and needles waiting for her report. I am a life-long business writer turned novelist. I began writing fiction 25 years ago during a marriage retreat by penning a short love story to my wife. She loved it and I loved writing it. Since then, my creative writing has explored how our struggles to realize our essential being succeed and fail and what makes the difference.
Hi, I'm Lari (pronounced Larry), kinda like a boy named Sue. I'm slogging through my first memoir, and my other accomplishments include letters to the editor for the Miami Herald, several of which have been published. Woo Hoo. No matter how many times I change 100 words around for NYT Modern Love, I am rejected. I would love to share my experiences of my hopes being crushed.
Hi, I'm Charlotte. I live in Birmingham, Alabama. My latest book was published in September by Here Below Books--Spiritual Direction for Writers: Everyday Rituals for Your Writing Life. My first book was on loneliness and belonging and came out in 2020 with Broadleaf Books. I recently signed with my first literary agent and am working on some light revisions for the book proposal for a book about art and friendship.
I'm new here, although I'm a regular reader of some of the individual components that now live at Write or Die magazine, which is such a great idea.
Hi all! I'm Toni Jeffrey. My travel memoir was published in December 2024; since then, I have apparently become an essayist. I recently got a gig as a columnist in the Foolish Times, a free local weekly based in Monterey, CA. My short bio gradually keeps getting longer...
I usually try to crack up my readers, but occasionally venture into the poignant.
Hi hi! I'm Sadie Rose. I have an upcoming book with Crossed Crow Books called The Rose Witch's Grimoire. It's part-memoir, part grimoire, with a focus on the Dark Divine, transformation, and empowerment. Beyond that, I post writing here and on Patreon, teach some writing classes, lead some writing challenges, and submit to literary magazines now and then. I'm working on putting together a giant list of resources for myself and other writers, and found this mag in my research :)
Hi, everyone! I'm Melanie and I currently live in Denver, CO. I'm exploring different forms of writing - poetry, flash fiction, short stories, etc.
Maybe someone can help me. I'm trying to find the page that has the workshops offered from the previously named Forever Workshop that has merged with write-or-die. I can't seem to find some of the workshops I'd noted to go back and do in the search option for the archive. I hope I didn't miss out on doing these 😰
Hi friends and fellow writers! I'm Don, originally from Springfield, Massachusetts but now retired in the beautiful mountains of San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, Mexico. I'm working on a memoir in essays, and have a goal to publish them in a full-length memoir by the end of 2027 (when I will turn 60 -- yipes!). I'm also planning a fiction novel/novella based on a family story from generations ago, and love that Write or Die is here to educate and inspire.
I write every day, even if it's just one really good paragraph. You can find me on Substack and Medium; excited to be here amongst so many wonderful writers.
Hi! I'm an avid reader of nearly anything I can get my hands on, so I thought that would translate to being a better writer. I am working on that idea, here, while I am wrapping up a BS in English to go a long with an AFA in Written Arts. I’m contemplating further debt with an MFA in Writing.
A bit more about me: I am a self-taught poet who currently has a book called "Laughing with the Stars & Other Musings." I'm learning how much time it takes to get word out about that kind of thing. I'm looking for community and leads for these ideas and answers to other questions that circle my over-caffeinated brain: Is an MFA worth it even if it is a fraction of the price in BIG named schools like Brown? Should I have gone with a publishing house instead of claiming rights as an Indie Author? How soon should I put another book out even though my current is only in two stores in small town Idaho?
I'm Robert Jacoby. My current WIP is a linked collection of stories about a boy growing up in 1970s Ohio. Two short pieces from this collection have already been accepted and will appear in The Bloomin' Onion, one in October ("Trick or Treat") and the other in December ("Snow Day").
I work every morning, 6 days a week. Mostly on the collection. 20 of a planned 24 stories done. When I take "time off" it's to rest or write and publish an essay on Substack about the writing life.
Creative goal? Hmm. To have this WIP collection picked up for publication by some nice agent/publisher. I also have two novels complete that I'm querying for. So the work never ends.
Hello, I am newly returned to writing poetry in English -my first language is German. I am part of three online writing groups in UK and USA, published in a few anthologies so far with a goal of self-publishing my body of work in a few years
Hello. I'm Shayne and am excited to dive into the revamped Write or Die Magazine. I appreciate the talented contributers and look forward to learning and being inspired.
I'm finishing up my writing degree and am working on incorporating beta reader suggestions to my crime novel.
I write every day, even when I'm supposed to be working (should I have not given my real name here 😁) My greatest goal is to publish my novel. A girl can dream, right?
hi Shayne! if you ask me, a girl not only can dream, she HAS to. thanks for sharing your journey with us, excited to hear more about your novel – and considering you write every day, i’m sure we’ll be hearing about its way from draft to publication soon :)

Hi! The old Write or Die magazine published an essay of mine (which I loved) in 2023. That link is broken now. Where did it go, and will it come back?
