Why subscribe?

If you’re like us, you’ve wondered how your favorite writers get the job done. We’d all like to think we’re called by some great muse, but sometimes you need to vacuum your entire house or play three rounds of Bejeweled on your phone before you can sit in the chair.

At Sit Down & Write, we talk to writers about the little rituals that help them put pen to paper. Or, you know, fingers to laptops.

Never miss our fun, inspiring conversations: subscribe to get full access to the newsletter and website.

After that, things can only get better.” Be part of a community of people who love to write and love to know why other people write, too, as well as all the funny little things that help them do it.
