Throes at 6:47 AM 25 Apr 18 by Elk

The Workshop

Rooster Land is a private and pseudonymous writing workshop. You're currently located where the writers come to work. A selection of their pieces are elevated to superfeed status and made publicly readable on a rolling basis. You may want to start there. But certainly feel free to look around while you're here, or to open and travel.

Fellow writers may view all content, including replies and revisions, and partake in the discussion. Want to join us? Get a sense for how it works — everything from intellectual property to punctuation — then write The Rooster.
