**SEVERAL MONTHS AGO**, I teamed up with some of the most exciting smut writers in this corner of Substack, and I’m deeply grateful for the chance to have gotten to know them over time. I can honestly say they are some of the best people I know. That generosity shows not only in the way they support one another, but in their ability to recognize raw talent and help it grow. We talk nearly everyday and talk strategy, discuss the industry, and work together to help build this space.

I’d like to take a moment to introduce you to the members of that collective. And as we continue to grow our ranks, I want to encourage every writer in this space to keep honing your craft, building your voice and your brand, and staying connected to the reason you started doing this in the first place. The work matters. The community matters. And what we’re building together is only just beginning.

If you’re a **reader** of this genre, these are some of the very best writers working in this space, with catalogs full of compelling, steamy, unforgettable stories. If you’re a **writer**, these are the people and publications to connect with and collaborate alongside. I can say with confidence that my time on Substack would be entirely different without them. You may not be able to purchase a subscription from all of them—and that’s okay. A free subscription, your attention, and your engagement are just as powerful.

Ladies and Gentleman, allow me to introduce you to **The Collective**.
