You will be surprised to know that we have many allies who support our quest to revive the Ancient Libraries. When you see the lit lantern in your town centre you know it's safe to meet. You will find your fellow writers gathering in small groups all over to share their creativity, just look for the sparks of inspiration and you have found your people.

Embrace this daring venture and get to know the Hero Writers behind the stories that will fill the Ancient Libraries and bring their stories to the masses.
