About
Sometimes it seems everyone is an aspiring writer. May be. Everyone has a story. Everyone has something to say. Although not everyone makes the effort to share it. The Spirited Scriveners exists to encourage that effort. Pen to paper, as it were. Fingertip to keyboard. However it happens.
Here you will encounter the results of our own efforts. Sometimes serious. Sometimes comedic. Sometimes romantic. This group of authors operate in very different worlds. Yet, find it mutually supportive. Whether creating science fiction or romance, children’s picture book or young adult, medical or architectural history, we all look to improve the telling of the tale. We teach each other as we teach ourselves and we navigate the dusky, ever-changing paths of publishing together.
