Welcome one and all to The Write Crowd, home to fellow authors on the long and sometimes difficult journey to publishing. Here you will find the blogs of two fellow travelers: J. Patrick Lemarr and D. Gene Strother, who, like you, seek the green pastures of the NY Times Bestseller List while plugging away at their day jobs, raising their families and clinging desperately to their singular passion-writing!

In addition to blogs, you will also find a refuge and place of learning in our Message Boards. Whether you are a novice or seasoned pro raking in your royalty checks hand over fist, our message board is a place to share your work and your expertise, open your poetry and prose up for critique, or even challenge your fellow writers to contests. From time to time we at TWC will sponsor our own official challenges with prizes sure to make paticipation worth your while.

Podcasts. Did we mention the podcasts? Along with our blogs and message boards, The Write Crowd will soon be bringing you regular podcasts filled with info on helpful websites, tips and tricks, interviews with other literary joureymen and even the occasional book review. Why? Because we can. Because we must. Because we think it will be a heck of a lot of fun. And if we happen to help out a few struggling authors along the way? Icing on the cake, baby.

And that’s it. That’s why we’re here. So here’s your chance to be a part of something bigger that yourselves. To get in on the ground floor of a community that, in fact, you already belong to. A chance to share your vision, imagination and craft with your fellow dreamers and actually grow. Gene and Jeff are on the journey already. Two is company, but it’s time for you to join the crowd.
