What Our Members Are Saying
My output has tripled since being part of the community, plus I've been able to take more time off then I did previously. Everyone is uplifting and supportive and I can't imagine being anywhere else.
Emmie BAuthor of Middle grade fantasy & cozy mystery 
Activated Authors has been by far one of the best online communities I've been a part of and that is in no small part because Dan, the team, and community members are all willing to support and guide each other.
Eden CollierAuthor of Bronze Age Inspired Fantasy 
Since joining Activated Authors, my writing, productivity, and motivation has been on fire. Not only did I reach my goal of finishing my first draft (something I had been dragging my heels on for a year), I finished it within a few months.
River HemansAuthor of Paranormal, Fantasy, Dark Fantasy, Horror, "True" Crime 
I've made friends, connections and learned things I never expected to. We're a community who support and trust each other with authors of different levels who are always ready to help one another.
Ara Bellauthor of sci-fi, fantasy & space opera 
Activated authors is an amazing community for any stage of your author career. As a member, I not only got the courage to publish my first book but I continue to grow the world and spark ideas for future projects. Activated Authors is full of inspiration in all aspects of not only writing but overall wellbeing.

SUPPORTING THE “WORLD LAND TRUST”

Since its foundation in 1989, World Land Trust has funded partner organisations around the world to create reserves and give permanent protection to habitats and wildlife.
“The support that is given to the World Land Trust is support that goes directly to the place where it’s needed.”
