As a writing instructor, I hear stories every day that deserve to be out in the world. But too often, in this algorithm-driven culture we live in, a story can’t find an audience because it isn’t based on a trending topic or it doesn’t fit a certain formula. I wanted to give writers and readers a space where well-told stories could have a home. That is why I decided to launch WISDOM & WORDS. Starting May 29, we’ll be featuring one essay a week. Please subscribe so you can support and connect with fellow writers! You can also follow WISDOM & WORDS on Instagram here. And if you have a story you'd like to be considered for publication, send it to darcey@darceygohring.com.

Whether you are a writer or a reader, I hope to see you there soon!
