Celebrating the Word
Written was developed out of a love for words. Words are key elements in communication that can set a mood and evoke a myriad of feelings. Words also have the distinct ability to motivate, enrage, initiate reflection, and provoke self-evaluation. The connection of the reader and listener of words with the writer’s world and perspective simply begins with words. This unique relationship is why Written examines words through analytical reviews and critiques of books, movies and music. We strive to be more than sheer entertainment by provoking our audience with words from the introductory publisher’s letter to the opinions of our columnists and contributors. Even fresh, unsigned talent have a place to share their words within the pages of Written.
In essence, Written seeks to celebrate the words that touch us, tell our stories, enlighten our lives and highlight those hidden from view.
