Welcome to Erica Drayton Writes!

Updated 4/4/24 for 2024

I’m glad you found my little corner of the fiction universe. I hope you decide to subscribe, but first, let’s go over the many emails you’ll get:

The Sneak Peek [1st of the month] - A look ahead at what writing projects I have coming and any pre-order links for my books.

The Look Back [2nd and 4th Saturday every month] - A look back at the past two weeks worth of writing I’ve sent that you may have missed. Your chance to catch up!

A 100 Word Story [daily] - Every single day I write one 100 word story and share it. You can read them in less than :60 seconds.

Sleight of Hand [occasional mondays / paid subscribers] - A world where magic and mystery are everywhere. Each week will be 2k - 3k words for about 40 weeks. The other 12 weeks will see short stories and flash fiction that also take place in the same world and serve to add to the world.

Anatomy of Typewriters [monthly / paid subscribers] - Short stories that range from the bizarre to the deranged. Each story is sent in parts throughout the month. Under 10k words per completed story.

Free Writing Fridays [1st & 3rd friday every month] must opt-in - Image prompt to write 100 word stories and share them in the comments section. Also, add your 50 words to my 50 words to collaborate on a 100 word story with me.

The Writers Circle [monthly (or more)] must opt-in - My thoughts on the writing industry, my writing journey, and other helpful tips and tricks I pick up along the way.

Pentober52 [discontinued] must opt-in - Weekly emails containing prompts. Unlike Pentober in October you can write well over 100 words.

the list - A comprehensive list of fiction on Substack.
