Welcome to The Poe-tato Writing Collective:
A space to celebrate and showcase work from other writers in the community— with a focus on Poe’s core themes.
Hello there, and welcome to our SubStack. This blog was created with the intent of bringing more writers together, with a focus on Edgar Allan Poetato’s core themes.
Our goal in accordance to this is to showcase work from other writers, by giving them a platform to do so. Here you’ll be able to find both short stories and poetry, posted throughout the week.
And if you’re looking to submit a piece to be featured in our Collective, you can do so by hitting the button below. It’ll take you straight to our submissions form.
Here you can see our posting schedule. As long as we have submissions, we’ll be able to maintain and stick to this schedule. All posts go up at 10:30am PT (12:30pm CT, 1:30pm ET).
