We’re just days away from the release of Voices Like These!!

This anthology has been months in the making, and it wouldn’t exist without our 20 authors, our scouts, the wonderful team that worked behind the scenes to make it a reality and, of course, YOU! 💖

Here's an idea for a new social media platform:

❌️ No AI generated videos or images
❌️ No training AI on our data
✅️ Only human created content for fellow humans

Who's in 👋

How Video Games Helped Me Write My Book

Photo: Goszton Have you ever wanted to write a book or a longer story, but when you looked at how many words it’d take, it felt like too much? This was me, and it’s taken me two decades…

It took me over two decades to finish the first draft of my first novel. 😌

I've tried many times, but for one reason or another, I couldn't complete a book until recently.

One of the mental obstacles was looking at the 100,000 words I wanted to write.
