About

Write or Die Magazine is an online community and literary space for writers. We publish essays, fiction, blogs about writing, and author interviews.

Here we are all about the transparency of the process. We are interested in the day-to-day routines of writers, in the messy drafts, in the rejections, in the hours spent staring into space. We want to talk about it all.

And while most of our work is done alone, we are on a mission to bring you connection and support from one like minded creative to another. With mentorships, resources, workshops, community memberships, and so much more, Write or Die is where writers can find inspiration, accountability, and motivation.
