About Us
Tuesday, February 20th, 2007What is writhaus.com?
Writhaus.com is a site dedicated to covering what post-collegiate people care about. We love movies, television, and music as much as you do. We also struggle with our political identies and what role religion should play in our lives. As time passes, we will present articles on all the above topics.
Who are you to write about such things?
Our staff has more than a decade of journalistic experience in the real world. We’ve covered a lot of things, and in the process, we realized we really enjoy talking with people and finding out what they think about things. Expect us to take our interview subjects’ opinions just as seriously as we take our own.
Why are there mostly only reviews right now?
When the site was started, half of us were unemployed. Unemployment grants one thing above all others: time to work on side projects. We launched a hair earlier than expected, mostly because we had content lying around, and we thought, “Why not go ahead and post it?” As if by magic, after the postings started, one of us found employment and ended up working more than 100 hours in a two-week period. That slowed our momentum. Half of us also are tutoring kids in English Language Arts. That takes a bite out of our free time (although it is incredibly rewarding helping kids read and comprehend better), too. We aren’t making excuses, though. Content of more substance is on the horizon. Have no fear.
