Welcome to The Home of Storytellers
We believe that stories have the power to change lives. The Write Crowd is a sanctuary for writers and readers across South Africa to hone their craft, share their voices, and find their tribe.
How The Write Crowd Began
What started as a shared dream over cups of rooibos tea quickly became a movement. We noticed a gap in the local literary scene—a need for a welcoming space that wasn't just about publishing, but about the joy of the creative process itself. Whether you have never written a sentence or you have published ten novels, you deserve a place where creativity is celebrated.
Meet Dorothy
International bestselling author, Dorothy Ewels, writes steamy protector romances packed with suspense, humour, and heart. Specialising in second-chance love and found family, she crafts stories where love conquers danger, past wounds heal, and happily-ever-afters are guaranteed. Fuelled by coffee and an obsession with books, she believes the best romances blend swoon-worthy moments, pulse-pounding tension, and characters you’d want as friends. When she’s not writing, she’s lost in a book, chasing the perfect latte, or finding humour in everyday chaos.
Meet Denise
Denise Riddle writes suspenseful fiction that keeps readers guessing until the final page. Her career began in high school and grew through freelance work for Lowveld Living Magazine — but it was thriller writing where she found her voice.With five novels and counting, Denise crafts stories full of curveballs, dark secrets, and relentless suspense. Based in Cape Town, she draws on a life rich with family, adventure, and imagination — weaving tales that readers devour in a single sitting.
