A journal produced by collaboration of powerful women writers and artists from diverse backgrounds. A quarterly paperless publication richly designed and professionally edited (then e-mailed to you!). A voice for us. A vision of us. We want to pay you for your work. We want to work with you. We want to teach young women that writing and creating saves lives and shapes souls. We travel for workshops and lectures. We carry the torch for women who make powerful words and images.

You are the person we want to publish. You are the woman we want to interview, feature, and read. We would like to empower YOU. Whether you are an established writer or artist looking for a platform or a woman still unsure of your artistic forté, you are in the right place. You may contact us with your work to be published, your unfinished work in need of peer critique, or to set up a writing empowerment workshop for women of all ages. YOU are the one we've been looking for.

This is a space of intelligent, constructive critique and celebration of the creative process. Find pieces up for review, contests, and guest judges here.

Observations and musings from your editor. A personal journal, and the best way for me to dialogue with you. I will record my adventures in reading, writing, growing (vegetables and otherwise) to feed your spirit and eyes. Your subscription helps build my platform, thereby helping us finance this journal. Please click on the envelope or RSS feed icons to subscribe. I humbly thank you.

The purpose of the Free Range Co-Op is to reward women financially and create a professional competition to raise the quality of diverse writing and art to new heights. Please submit your piece to submissions@freerangewords.com and pay in for your lifetime subscription to our breathtaking journal. The more subscriptions, the more we can pay our writers and artists. That's YOU!
