General vibes & principles

• FreeWrites exists to support writers of all stripes, ages, backgrounds, genders, abilities, levels of experience, and so on. We are pro-diversity and -inclusion.
  • Written content should be community focused, friendly, and informative.
  • While individual (Free-)writers will have diverse styles from amateur to pro, experimental to provocative to cryptic, our public-facing text and design should be accessible, inviting, and understandable to a wide audience, and also honest.
  • Richard: while for-profits and many non-profits are out to “persuade”, FreeWrites does not need to be coercive or manipulative in the same sense. We are not out to convert “customers” to act against their own interests. We only need to be honest and articulate about what we actually do, and then be open to others who would like to join with us. Do not pretend that this website is supposed to appeal to everyone.
