The Write Stuff Intro

Welcome aspiring writers to our new publication, The Wrte Stuff, a publication that helps writers and creators achieve their goals.

Whether you need emotional and spiritual support, practical project and time management strategies, or mindset growth training, we have the stuff for you.

In this post, we will introduce you to our publication, our vision, and our goals. We will also show you how you can join our community of writers and creators who are on a mission to write well and live well.

If you’re ready to get started, then read on and discover the right stuff for your writing journey.

Why did I create The Wrte Stuff?

I created The Wrte Stuff publication to fill a void that was left by the disappearance of Asad Educate’s New Writers Growth Ideas publication a few weeks ago. I became an editor for the publication within a short time, as it exploded with new writers and I learned a lot so quickly.

I published 87 stories in 19 days.

I didn’t want the momentum to stop.

But it did.

And I was going back to square one.

I got tired of chasing someone’s dream or being under someone else’s vision, only for them to pull the rug from right under me.

I didn’t want my dreams to be in someone else’s hands yet again.

So one day in October, I decided to take the bull by the horns and create my own publication. In addition to that, I’m also creating my own LLC media publishing company soon.

What are the publication’s goals and vision?

The New Writers Growth Ideas publication’s former goals and vision were to be one of the top publications that help writers discover their voice, use that voice to educate, move, or inform others, and generate an income using their voice. The founder said, "Our aim is to help other writers, especially those who’ve no idea how to actually write for a publication”.

We intend to keep that goal and modify it to where we want our writers to also receive emotional and spiritual support, project and time management strategies, and growth mindset training.

This support and training will help our writers and readers not only evolve their craft but also make more money, grow their network and themselves, and build a successful writing business.

Our vision is to see our community grow in support for one another and help each other reach their personal and professional goals, striving to achieve success in their writing, personal lives, and businesses.
