Welcome to The Writer's Journal!
This is the place to come to publish your writing, get inspired, and let your voice be heard. So get the word out, and let's get creative!
"If you find yourself asking yourself (and your friends) 'Am I really a writer? Am I really an artist?' chances are, you are. The counterfeit innovator is wildly self-confident. The real one is scared to death." These are the words of Steven Pressfield in 'The War of Art. You are a writer. You are an artist. No matter how scared you are, you are the innovator, the voice of a generation. So use your gifts - your passions - and share them with the world.

The more people that are on our site, the more writing we receive, the more writing tips you can get, and the better place the world will be for writers everywhere!

Edit and revise your work. I am busy and don't have time to edit all of your writing before posting it. I will always look it over just in case, but please try to make sure that your writing is as grammatically correct as possible.

We publish any writing; your skill, experience, and content don't matter to us! We also publish any age; are you in kindergarten sharing your first poem?
