The Diamond Quill is a writing community built around a community-driven monthly poetry contest, bringing writers together to create, share, and celebrate one another’s work.
This week on Author Up, I sit down with Bryce, founder and the one-man team behind The Diamond Quill to talk about how the project began, what they’ve learned from building a creative community, and why giving writers a chance to earn and a place to show up consistently matters.
We also discuss the joys and challenges of running an independent literary project, the importance of staying playful, and where he hopes to take The Diamond Quill next.
If you’re a poet looking for a welcoming community, a new place to share your work, or simply enjoy hearing how independent literary projects come to life, I think you’ll enjoy this one. I had an awesome time with Bryce, and I’m thankful to know these kinds of innovative approaches to writing communities exist.
