Our Story
Alexis Grant launched The Write Life in 2013, leaning on her background as a writer and businesswoman to create a publication and community that’s insanely helpful for writers.
Over the last eight years, we’ve published more than a thousand posts, ebooks and webinars about freelancing, traditional publishing, self-publishing, blogging, and marketing your work. The community has grown to tens of thousands of writers, many of whom earn income doing writing-related work they enjoy.
In 2021, The Write Life joined the Selfpublishing.com platform of sites, a digital family committed to transforming the self-publishing industry, one author at a time. The original vision of The Write Life has not changed: our aim is to provide top-notch content about becoming a better writer. Being a part of the Selfpublishing.com platform simply means that our readers have access to a wider variety of content, resources, and coaching opportunities in order to achieve their writing goals.
