We are a community of writers who have, at one time or another, experienced burn-out from the demands of the freelance writing world. We understand the importance of taking time to cultivate our creativity and not forget to write creatively to keep our creative juices flowing, lest we come to resent writing altogether.
Whether you’re interested in contributing as a one-time guest blogger, or want to join our team, we’d love to hear from you!
We are always looking for submissions about the writing life:
- inspirational quotes
- anecdotes
- writing prompts
- poetry
- journaling/articles from a writer’s perspective, especially those having to do with their passion for writing
- personal experiences
- interviews
- info on the latest markets
Please contact us and let us know if you would be interested in helping out in any way.
We have received numerous e-mails from people who believe that it is time for a website like this. Our team is in this for the love of it, because it concerns us to see so many writers who are discouraged. We know that writing for free or low payments is not always looked upon very highly, but this endeavor does not require much time in researching and writing, and is more like journaling, freeing one’s thoughts.
Current Needs:
Articles: These can be about anything that would interest a writer, including personal journaling, personal experiences, informative pieces, editorials, essays.
Regular columns and columnists: Feel free to pitch a column idea.
Reviews of books, films, website links, etc., about the writing & reading craft and passion
Writing prompts & exercises
Quotes, anecdotes, and/or experiences about the writing life
Other short or long inspirational tidbits
Info on writing markets and jobs

You are free to post or sell your piece(s) elsewhere. And if you want to have a certain story deleted in the future, contact me and request it.We would be delighted if you would grant us archival rights to have the work remain on the Writers Remember website for an indefinite period of time. If at any time the writer would prefer it be removed from the site, Writers Remember will comply.
Compensation: We are a community of writers who are driven by our passion to help other writers with inspiration and encouragement. At the moment we cannot offer compensation, though we are working diligently to secure advertising in order to pay our writers. For the moment, writers whose work is accepted will have the option of a generous byline & bio, as well as link(s) to their website(s), even a photo if you’d like. Staff writers will also have a generous inclusion on the Writers Remember staff page, as well as an individual page highlighting each of them.
Original Work: Feature articles must be the original work of the author. Writers Remember does not condone plagiarism. Quotes, prompts, exercises, anecdotes, etc. should be properly credited. If a work is discovered to be plagiarized it will be removed immediately.
Note: Writers Remember reserves the right to edit for flow, content, etc., and will always consult the writer about edits.
We are not looking for search engine optimization content. We are looking for writers’ experiences based on their love of the craft. Writers Remember is a labor of love, intent on reminding discouraged and weary writers of their long-lost passion for writing, and helping them rekindle the spark once again. We do not ask for outrageous rights, and have a relaxed submission basis.
