We are two writers and a literary agent (who also writes!) who are passionate about creativity, authenticity, and supporting the writing community.

We developed the Way-Word Writers community for YOU! We want to provide support through podcasts, courses, newsletters, and in-person retreats. Let us help you…

Vannessa

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
