Hey you. Yes, you. We see you. Sitting there with your beat up laptop and pot full of tea, typing out a story like your life depends on it. We see you curiously looking in our direction. Come on over, you’re welcome if you want to join us. There’s plenty of room at our table. 

A Million Ways to Be A Writer started as a germ of an idea between two friends at a favorite tea shop in Portland, OR. Two writers on very different life and writing journeys chatting about what’s next and brainstorming new ways to be a creative person in this world. 

We kept returning to the idea of a community for writers where we could share what we’ve learned from our various successes and failures. A community that offers support and encouragement to those who are feeling stuck, cheer on those who are doing the damn thing, celebrates and commiserates, and on the hardest days, reminds you that no matter what happens with the ups and downs of the publishing industry, you are a beautiful, remarkable, cherished creative soul with an important story to tell.

We firmly believe there’s no one way to be a writer in this world. If there was a secret formula to success, we would have found it by now. We can’t promise you fame and fortune and all the awards. We can’t even promise we have all the answers. We’re simply offering perspective, sharing our knowledge, and giving you a place to be whatever kind of writer you dare to be. Whether you’re self-published, traditionally published, unpublished, or some combination of the above, we hope you’ll find something meaningful here with us.
