Somewhere to put the words
you haven't said out loud.
Write That Down is a free community for creative writing. Follow a new theme each week, write freely on your own terms, or get a little editorial help polishing what you've made — then share it and see what people think.
Three ways to start
However you write, every story goes through the same light edit and lands in front of the same readers.
Follow the weekly themes
A new prompt goes up every week. Write your take on it and post it alongside everyone else's.
Write freely
No theme, no prompt — just whatever you're working on. It's read and treated exactly the same way.
Get an editor's eye
Ask for feedback on pacing, flow, or small details before you publish. It's optional, and it's still your story.
Readers vote. Every week, one story wins per theme.
Anyone can read a submission and vote for their favorite. The story with the most votes gets featured on our Instagram — with your name on it, or without, your call.
Write That Down is built for people who want to write and be read.
Every submission gets the same light editorial pass, whether it follows the week's theme or came from nowhere in particular. We want you to be able to share your ideas as freely as possible.
The most-voted story each week gets published to our Instagram, where our community also votes for upcoming themes. It doesn't take much to get started, just an idea and a creative mindset.
