Our story

Welcome to The Writer’s Circus! We’re an online community of writers who learn and grow together in a safe, fun, and supportive environment. 

Many people think they’re limited to whatever writing talent they’re born with and believe they can’t improve over the course of their life. We’re here to tell you, that is absolutely false!

Our community believes that anyone can become a skilled writer. We also believe that everyone has something important to share with the world. With practice, patience, and dedication, anyone can develop their writing skills, and we’re here to support and encourage you through that process. 

This writing website was born through a small group of people who found each other online. After connecting, we discovered we had a couple of things in common: we were all passionate about our unique stories and we all had a desire to increase our writing prowess. Realizing we needed a place to foster our aspirations and development, we banded together to form the inspiring, exuberant community we know today as The Writer’s Circus. 

You might be wondering why we chose the word “circus” to use in our name. Don’t worry, we’re not going to make you learn to tightrope walk! We felt the word circus appropriately captured the creative and diverse nature of our community. The writers that participate on our site come from all walks of life. We welcome writers of all skill levels, from beginners to seasoned pros. While all the writers on our site write in English, some people are ESL/EFL writers, meaning that English isn’t their first language. It’s the merging of people with different traits, stories, talents, and backgrounds that makes our community so colorful and unique.   

We post writing-related articles regularly, offering practical advice and tips with the goal of helping you hone your writing craft. Whether you want to improve your fiction-writing hobby or become a New York Times bestselling author, everyone is sure to find something of value when you peruse our posts. 

To further grow our community and showcase an array of different writing styles, stories, and opinions, we encourage guest bloggers to submit content to be published on our site. We welcome articles related to creative writing or your unique journey with writing. 

The Writer’s Circus is also home to a growing community forum where writers can connect, celebrate their achievements, share their writing journeys, give and get feedback, and have fun with like-minded people. 

We know it can feel intimidating to get started with writing. Our goal is to empower you, educate you, and give you confidence in your skills, so you can go after those writing dreams that have been swirling around in your mind, perhaps, for years. It’s never too late to begin. Anyone can become a better writer and we want to help show you the way. 

When you visit The Writer’s Circus, we hope you’ll feel our passion for writing, genuine care for our community, and welcoming presence. We’re a caring group of people who take great pride and pleasure in supporting you on your writing journey. Don’t hesitate to get involved–submit a guest post, comment on an article, or start a conversation on our forum. Your story is important and we’re so excited for you to share your heart with us.
