Writing and Community-Building with Lex Vranick of Write and W(h)ine

Join Lex and Odin as they talk about what it means to have a supportive community, and explore how such communities can change the world... one supported person at a time.

WRITE AND W(H)INE

The Write&W(h)ine community strives to provide a safe, inclusive, and encouraging environment for writers of all genres at all stages to talk openly about their craft. The community also aims to destigmatize discussions of mental health in the arts by offering a judgement-free space for writers to talk about their mental health struggles and find support in one another. Above all else, Write&W(h)ine is a community made by writers, for writers.

Lex Vranick is a dark fiction author and poet based in Sarasota, Florida. She holds a B.A. from Excelsior College and is a J.D. candidate at Florida State University. Her work has been published by Cagibi, Kissing Dynamite Poetry, Rhonda Parrish Anthologies, and Fahrenheit Press, among others. Lex is the founder and host of Write&W(h)ine, an online community focused on supporting writers at all stages and advocating for mental health in literary spaces.
