Welcome to “Writers Unite!” On WordPress

Welcome to “Writers Unite!”

Following on the success of the Facebook group, “Writers Unite!” the administrators felt it was time to expand the group’s mission. Dedicated to providing a safe haven for writers of all levels of expertise to interact with each other and share information about their craft, the Facebook group has grown to approximately 77.000 members.

As administrators, we decided to take this step and create a blog to provide more than a haven, but an environment to instruct, share stories and promote writers. We offer workshops on various aspects of the writing process, guest blogs, and interviews by our very talented members.

“Writers Unite!” is committed to the growth and empowerment of its members and wanted to offer the opportunity for the members to experience publishing. WU! has published its first anthology collection, Realm of Magic in August 2018, with the second volume in the series, Realm of Romance due in late 2018. A third volume, Dimensions of Mystery was published in 2019 and a two-volume set, Dimensions of Science Fiction published in 2020. Our fifth anthology, Dimensions of Paranormal is scheduled to be published in October 2020 . The sixth anthology, Dimensions of the Wild West is currently in the submissions phase.

In 2019, we initiated a monthly writing exercise, called Write the Story! which provides an image prompt and asked members to write a story of 3000 words or less using the prompt as inspiration. Designed as a writing exercise, WTS! was also created to assist members in attracting new traffic to their blogs, websites, or Facebook Author pages. We will soon be entering our third year of the exercise and have seen some members write a story every month. In fact, some are publishing collections from their Write the Story! entries.

This site will offer:

• Articles about writing
• Guest blogs
• Feature excerpts from members’ published and non-published work
• Author interviews
• Host writing contests
• Writing workshops
• And lots of other features as we grow

Join us as we explore the creative craft of writing.
