Not very complicated: please submit as a Word file, and try to keep your piece to about two pages. Send submissions to whywewrite@gmail.com. Understand that we may edit for length or content, but we haven’t had to do much of that so far and we swear a lot. Don’t write anything slanderous, or that you might regret later, because we take no responsibility for what happens after your words hit the blogosphere. Or before, for that matter. Try to be personal, interesting, and passionate. And put the dishes in the dishwasher before you leave the house.

Hi there,
Living in Spain, I wrote some novels in French and I’m looking for somebody, to translate and edit them in the States! The themes are about world war two, science, diving, new technology, action and very close tho reality, for screen adventures. Well I am already seventy five, so if somebody is interested, get hurry before my children have to publish them! Cheers to all the Writers, the make the World feel Better!
Jean van Steen.
PS, sorry my English grammatic, Cheers to all of You!!!

I write because i can. That piece of paper is the one place where my freedom can not be taken away.

I love that Why We Write accepts writers at all stations of their career and even those people who are claim not yo be writers–or at least those without credits–can be accpeted
I never missed a day of the strike and when I submitted my little modest essay entry to WWW, not only did Charlie give me the third degree, he also required (and questioned my professional standing) that I provide my credits and name.
I find it terribly ironic that someone without credits can be accepted on WWW, but there’s no litmus test for them.

I’ve stumbled onto this site whilst researching the film ‘Nottingham’ I write and was dismayed that your archives only go back as far as April 2008. Why is this? is the writers strike in the US or something else? Do you need a reporter to go interview writer? I’m willing and able, drop me a line.
It’s interesting to us fledgling (ok maybe not to fledgling) writers and communicators to read how our heroes do it. What motivates then and makes them begin the often laborious task of getting an idea on the the page

Hi, I “stumbled upon”, not by accident, your blog site/web site. I am publishing a book entitled Caught in the Net, a story of internet addiction and romance by Sunshine44. It is a true story. I became addicted to AOL when the cost was $2.95 an hour. Not many people remember the times before unlimited internet use. I spent hours upon hours in the Hopelessly Romantic chat room. I flew to Madison, Wisconsin to meet a gentleman who I later found out, had hammer toes and a large hernia that protruded off of his belly, as well as he snored very loudly and talked in his sleep. He failed to mention these things in his “profile.” Who would? Anyways, would you be kind enough to read my Preface to Caught in the Net? It can be found on createspace.com The link is:
