Welcome back, writer fam! We know it's been a while since our last edition, but we're kicking off 2024 with Newsication #010. This year may not be officially dubbed "The Year of the Writer," but here at WritersWithoutWalls, we're claiming it as such. Over the next 12 months, we pledge to showcase the power of the written word and give diverse voices an empowered platform.

To further our mission of inclusivity, we're thrilled to introduce Andrew Zavitsanos to the WritersWithoutWalls team. Hailing from Melbourne, Australia, Andrew brings over 20 years of experience in project and service management from his extensive remote work. Though a seasoned professional, Andrew describes himself as a generalist - first and foremost a son, husband and father with wide-ranging knowledge in web3, tech, people management, productivity, systems, and of course - writing. We're delighted he's joining us, helping simplify complex topics and ground our work in common sense as we continue breaking down barriers in 2024.

Welcome aboard, Andrew! We can't wait to see what this year holds for WritersWithoutWalls.

Your Communities

Here are your two communities for Writers Without Walls. We’ve crafted these spaces with you in mind, each serving a unique purpose.

Writers Without Walls on Entre — Our Entre community is a hybrid setup that bridges the familiar Web2 and the emerging Web3. It’s a haven for all writers, regardless of their interest or experience in Web3. You can learn about the new digital frontier at your own pace, guided by experienced Web3 writers. We don’t like the sometimes confusing jargon or the ‘bro’ mentality, focusing instead on providing clear, accessible information. Whether you’re curious about protecting your identity, securing your finances, or safeguarding your tech, Entre is your safe place to explore.

Writer Without Walls on Common Ground — On the other hand, our CommonGround community is more Web3-focused. While it won’t be exclusively about Web3, it will have a strong Web3 orientation, which may be overwhelming for some. But it is a space where you can dive deeper, explore further, and immerse yourself in the Web3 realm.

These are new communities that we are nurturing, and you, the writers within, will shape them. Your participation, your voice, and your unique perspective will help mould these spaces into vibrant, inclusive, and diverse communities. So, whether you’re dipping your toes or ready to dive in, we’ve got a community for you. Let’s continue to write without walls, but not without rules.
