About

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, and in-person retreats. Let us help you – CONQUER YOUR WRITING PATH!
