About

Writing Exchange is a small community for poets, authors, and writers of all kinds in the fediverse.

For most of our 5-year history, we were primarily funded by Matt Baer's independent software company, Musing Studio. Matt is the lead developer of WriteFreely, another fediverse platform made for long-form writing and blogging.

Now, we're sustainably funded directly by the Writing Exchange community. Donate here to support us.
