About Our Blog

In 2013, Writing in the Modern Age was hatched from the idea that writers of all backgrounds and stages of their careers needed a safe haven of sorts, a place to come for advice and encouragement during their journeys. Nine years later, it has become so much more, embracing book lovers of any genre. Writing in the Modern Age is not only helpful for writers, but also readers who are searching for their favorite new author.​

Glad you could visit us! Please feel free to browse the archives on the right hand side of the blog to explore numerous articles, interviews, new book features, and giveaways going on all the time. Or, check out our 'Blog Policy' page for sample posts and information on becoming a guest here. It's very exciting to be a writer and reader of books in this modern age! :)
