A space for creative minds to share their perspective on the human experience through short stories, poems, and other forms of the written word.
People Write Now began as one writer’s vain attempt to actually start writing by connecting with other creators and being inspired by their work. Today, it’s still that…more or less. We strive to provide our readers with compelling works of fiction of all genres from a diverse group of writers.
More than that, we aspire to create a space where writers and creators from all backgrounds and walks of life can feel safe sharing their stories through art—completely free from any judgement or harassment.
The goal of People Write Now is to give writers a platform to present the world from their unique perspective and to describe it however they see fit.
We all have a story worth sharing, and it doesn’t have to conform to anyone’s standards or societal expectations. We should all feel free to tell our stories without holding back, and People Write Now is here to foster that sentiment.
So, if you’re passionate about creativity and interested in changing the world through art, this is the place for you. If you’ve made it this far, consider this a formal invitation to join our bi-weekly newsletter and dig into our blog. You’re in for one hell of a ride.
Our blog is home to a selection of short stories, poems, and other folk tales, secondhand accounts, and personal anecdotes from an international community of writers.
Featured stories include custom illustrations and auditory productions from rising artists.
Whether you'd like to learn more about the art and history of fiction writing or get an update on popular storycrafting techniques, you can find it all here.
Get tips from other writers on their process or just procrastinate a bit. Coming Soon!
The People Write Now Podcast is hosted by Darren Johnson and Jona Alaniz and regularly features writers, artists, musicians, comedians, and other creative minds as guests.
This podcast will be available on all major streaming services in the near future.
People Write Now is always looking for new writers to feature on our blog, and we’d be happy to review your work.
We don’t care if you send in a steamy romance, uncensored adventure, or fatalistic noir, our editors would love to give it a read.
All we ask is that you keep the word count below 10,000 for any submissions and that anything you submit be your own, unplagiarized, and previously unpublished work. Other than that, all bets are off!
Get in touch with our submissions team today to get started on the review process for your story.
