# Write3 Wednesday: 5 Web3 Writers You Should Know By [Allen Taylor](https://paragraph.com/@allentaylor) · 2023-03-29 --- As you know, I’ve been playing around with Web3 tools for writing and I’ve discovered some really cool writers in the process. Today, I’ll share some of those writers I’ve followed and you can choose for yourself whether they have value for you. I’ll also point you to some really good Web3 reads on Hive this week. [Subscribe](null) Meet the Write3 Web ------------------- The Write3 community is very small. Still, you’ll want to follow these five writers, all of whom are heavily involved in Write3. ### Greg Younger - The Write3 Guy ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/fde6a3a6c3a513fbbbc79850c1e7e0915d51f54075b553c2dfd16c56da5ce89f.avif) Nobody embodies the Write3 community more than Greg Younger, who calls himself The Write3 Guy. In fact, he’s the founder of the Write3 Discord community and owns the [Write3 website](https://write3.io/). Greg does other cool Web3 stuff too. Like these: * [Tweets about Web3 writing](https://twitter.com/gregyounger) and literary NFTs * Hosts the [Write3 podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-write3-podcast/id1662011726) * Publishes the [Write3 newsletter](https://paragraph.xyz/@write3newsletter) And if that wasn’t enough, his [Mirror NFTs](https://mirror.xyz/gregyounger.eth) are some of the coolest in Web3. I don’t know any writer using Web3 tools as prodigiously as Greg Younger. He’s a must-follow. [Dig him on Twitter](https://twitter.com/gregyounger). ### George Pestana - OddWritings ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/6559c78478102a86ac0022ad864162f35d1ca8f59d22fb6f8deb237e15c93a8e.jpg) George Pestana is a software developer, poet, and NFT literary philosopher. You can find him at Github as [OddWritings](https://frogpoet.github.io/oddwritings/) and [NFT Ideas Online](https://frogpoet.github.io/nftideasonline/). His literary NFTs can be found at: * [Cent Pages](https://oddwritings.cent.co/) * [OpenSea](https://opensea.io/OddWritings) * [Rarible](https://rarible.com/oddwritings) Among other places. He’s also quite prolific [on Twitter](https://twitter.com/oddwritings), and he writes about his experience publishing literary NFTs [on Mirror](https://mirror.xyz/oddwritings.eth). I found his essay on [maintaining an author identity](https://mirror.xyz/oddwritings.eth/MDv9VQOw307R3oKyQbV084jYPs4CVjNIDxPMHpL7W60) on multiple blockchains particularly interesting. ### Greg R. Fishbone - Cryptoversal ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/6ac353e4205bf49e828e62180b52fe1cfcb6ea2db8eb5eaddf06f2505cada78b.png) Greg R. Fishbone is a lawyer, speculative fiction writer, and active member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators. [Greg’s website](https://gfishbone.com/) paints a colorful picture of the man, the myth, the legend. Through [Cryptoversal books](https://cryptoversalbooks.io/), he uses Web3 tools to publish NFT books and advocate for author’s rights. Greg is doing amazing things, such as: * Writes and publishes the [Mythoversal newsletter](https://mythoversal.substack.com/) * Mints [literary NFTs at Cent Pages](https://cent.co/greg) * Publishes books [available at Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/stores/Greg-R.-Fishbone/author/B001JOVI4I) And, of course, a whole lot more. He’s not as active on Twitter as some of the Web3 writers on this list, but you can still [find him there](https://twitter.com/tem2). And [there](https://twitter.com/Cryptoversalbks). ### Sylvie Bax - Edge Poetry NFT ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/c98585adecf2f465fc5ecf88af3943575c23396dcedb8f5016104e10611eabea.png) Sylvie Bax is a Web3 poet. Lyrical, dark, and luminescent, she paints pictures with words. You can find them on [her website](https://www.edgepoetrynft.com/). Other places you can find her work include: * [Readl](https://readl.co/0xb8d4b68b4bad6feb2c87d55df89d44ca062a6894) * [KnownOrigin](https://knownorigin.io/sylvie) * [Objkt](https://objkt.com/profile/tz2Pju9bARcrVstVZuiNhgNzMQ3aFWNXoAU4/created) You’ll also find her plausibly sane [on Twitter](https://twitter.com/edgepoetry_nft). ### Edward H. Carpenter - Once a Marine ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/f271712705ecd36fbfad6b73c087c199296a0a72731b83bde0a2043a366e0daf.jpg) Edward H. Carpenter is a former U.S. Marine and a literary NFT pioneer. Not only are his books [published on Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/stores/Edward-Carpenter/author/B0055WH3TE), but he has turned them into NFTs.

Intermission ------------ I’ve primarily positioned myself as a nonfiction writer writing about Web3 topics. However, I have much more in common with many of these I’ve featured today. I’ve been a published poet since the 1990s, with several poems at various places online. My first Web3-published poem is a poem that was featured in The New Verse News (yes, a Web2 property). “Cigar” is now available as an [NFT at Cent Pages](https://cent.co/account/posts/8722). In addition to being an award-winning poet and journalist, I’m an award-winning fiction writer. My genre of choice, like Greg R. Fishbone’s, is speculative fiction. In fact, I am the editor of a spec-fic multi-author fiction anthology called Biblical Legends Anthology Series. All three books published thus far are available at Amazon: * [Garden of Eden Anthology](https://www.amazon.com/Garden-Eden-Anthology-Biblical-Legends/dp/1535509414) * [Sulfurings: Tales From Sodom & Gomorrah](https://www.amazon.com/Sulfurings-Gomorrah-Biblical-Legends-Anthology-ebook/dp/B00LKSYX2M/) * [Deluge: Stories of Survival & Tragedy in the Great Flood](https://www.amazon.com/Deluge-Stories-Survival-Biblical-Anthology-ebook/dp/B0189HXEJY/) I will likely mint these as book NFTs in the very near future, just as I did with [_Web3 Social: How Creators Are Changing the World Wide Web (And You Can Too!)_](https://readl.co/book/25730738359309784841103145527884708297477924404312995035278990608240633446900). You can also find some of my work at Mirror where you can [mint issues of Cryptocracy](https://mirror.xyz/allentaylor.eth) as NFTs for free (just pay the gas fees on Optimism) and [at Paragraph](https://paragraph.xyz/@cryptocracy) where you can find an audio recording of a _Web3 Social_ chapter [embedded in the post](https://paragraph.xyz/@cryptocracy/world-wide-web-creators) as an NFT. I must say that my experience with Web3 publishing so far has been quite positive. **Speaking of Web3 topics, here’s your last chance to take my** [**one-question survey**](https://cryptocracy.substack.com/p/which-web3-topics-intrigue-you-most)**.** [Subscribe](null) A Look At This Week’s Hive -------------------------- Let’s start with this week’s Defluenced podcast.
