“Astrohaus' Freewrite E Ink typewriter was designed to combat these distractions by removing the internet from your view entirely, though you could still save your files digitally. This spring the company will ship the Freewrite Traveler, a lighter clamshell model that lets writers easily take their craft wherever the mood strikes them.”
“I’d bang out words on the device, then return to the computer to find a draft already waiting, as though it had been filed by someone else for my disinterested consideration. The aluminum body and spring-loaded keys made each word feel weighty and propulsive—an antidote to writing on glass.”
“It's custom-built for writing. There's no internet research to get lost in. No email to distract you. You open the piano-black lid and start typing. Once the Traveler has access to WiFi, it sends those words to the cloud service of your choice (Dropbox, Google, or Evernote) so that you can turn that offline productivity into a finished product.
“Getting a Freewrite was the best purchase because I finally wrote a novel. Within the first 90 days of having it.”
JP Gordon
“I am having such fun traveling with my Traveler! I have my “stay at home” Freewriter which is such a beautiful piece of art…and my little guy who gets to travel with me. I’m so happy…thank you for designing something I didn’t know I SO needed!”
Judith R.
“I have a 12 day writing streak, I carry the damn thing everywhere, I named and labeled it, I gave it a special pillow to keep next to me at night if I wake up with thoughts.”
Melinda W.
“What a beautiful device! I’ve started my novel on this device as I use my traveler for songwriting and another book I’m writing. I love how easy it is to keep track of everything and transfer documents through post box for either device.”
Emily A
“The traveler is such a nice size to write anywhere comfortably and has a great amount of storage! I’ve been getting such large portions of writing done on this and I think one of the really helpful things is that not only does it keep writing distraction free with no scrolling but I can hide word count a little easier and I don’t have to stare at a massive blank page when trying to write- I only see a small window and it helps keep me from spiraling!”
Taylor S
“I got it because I figured it would be easier on my eyes than a laptop screen, and it absolutely is. I like that it feels pretty sturdy, without being heavy. The files are synced to my Google drive, which is great for my peace of mind, since I know it's all backed up. I would unequivocally recommend this device.”
Laura R
“I love love love my Freewrite. It is perfect for me in every. single. way. Y'all couldn't have done a better job with the design and functionality! Price is high but absolutely and totally worth every penny! Thank you so much for sharing this invention with folks like me:)”
Lindsay C.
“I’ve been pouring words into my Traveler for the past week and loving what’s being produced. I’ve wanted to buy a Freewrite device for multiple years now and finally went for it. If you’re in the same boat, don’t hesitate! Love the keyboard feel, love the simple, sleek design.”
Lauren B.
“For once I’m regularly keeping a journal and I’m finally back to writing overall. It’s fantastic.”
Robert R.

Dive into our trusted drafting resource for writers, by writers.
Freewrite was designed to separate the drafting process from the editing process, a cardinal rule of prolific writers everywhere. It's the concept at the very core of the Freewrite philosophy. But it's easier said than done. We've compiled our favorite resources for teaching writers how to foster forward momentum during the drafting process by freewriting.
Drafting forward without editing as you go is the core ethos of Freewrite. Remember that the goal of drafting forward is to get a first draft recorded and translate your thoughts into writing on the page. Revising is a separate step in the writing process and should be reserved for later stages.
But that’s easier said than done, isn’t it? To guide your practice, we’ve compiled Freewrite’s 14 Rules for Drafting Forward.
So you finished the first draft of the book of your heart. Congratulations! You’ve done something that a whole heck of a lot of people will tell you they want to do but can never find the time. Yet you did. And you’re here.
So go, celebrate. I’ll be right here when you get back. Because oh, my friend, you still have a long way to go.
