If you’re ready to become the writer you’ve always wanted to be, then we’re ready for you.

Hey writers,

There is a glut of mediocre writing in the world (as Tim Ferriss said on the How I Write podcast), and people are craving high-quality ideas. 

Can you relate? Your timeline is flooded with dull, AI-generated articles and templated Twitter threads. Airport bookstores are stuffed with ghostwritten memoirs and cash-grabbing nonfiction. It's monotonous and deflating, especially for writers. But your writing doesn’t have to be that way. If the world is flooded with mediocre writing, this means quality is your edge.

Now is your foot-in-the-door moment to become the best writer you can be. And here’s why. 

You know that feeling when you stumble across a well-written essay or a captivating book? It’s surprising and exciting, like Christmas morning, writer’s edition. The ideas leap off the page, the prose sings to your soul, the author changes your perspective. And it doesn’t matter where you are — the train, the toilet, the treadmill — you’re hooked. You binge-read the rest of the author’s work. You hit “Subscribe” and maybe even fire off an enthusiastic DM.

The best marketing strategy is — and forever will be: write a damn-good piece.  

Don’t miss this. If you want your writing to stand out, to make an impact, then you need to get serious about improving your craft. 

Imagine for a moment what happens when people love your writing. Have you ever thought about that? 

• A coworker shares your essay with their boss, their mom, their favorite group chat.
• A stranger taps their friend’s shoulder in the subway, saying, “You’ve got to read this.”
• One of your favorite writers suddenly appears in your DMs: “Love your work. Are you up for a chat?” 

Best of all, you experience an identity shift: I’m a writer — and a good one, too. You swell with pride when you point people towards your website and say, “Here’s where you can read my work.” 

We want this for you. We want this for writers everywhere. It’s why we’ve built the best writing school on the Internet. So, if you’re ready to become a better writer, Write of Passage is right for you.
