Gifts for Writers Who Like Hemingway

July 26, 2021 | 3 min read

Last Thursday, after hard work and countless late nights, Team Freewrite launched our passion project, the Ernest Hemingway Signature Edition Freewrite. Check out the (gorgeous) site for Hemingwrite.

The response to Hemingwrite has been overwhelming. Since there are so many Hemingway fans in our Freewrite Family, we thought we’d put together a gift guide so that we can all *casually* send it to our loved ones. How else will they know what Hemingway-related presents to get us?

Or maybe that’s too much of a hassle. Gift yourself some Hemingway—no shame in self-care.

 

The Ernest Hemingway Signature Edition Freewrite -- LESS THAN 20 LEFT

The Ernest Hemingway Freewrite Signature Edition, a.k.a. "Hemingwrite," is a special edition Freewrite (the classic distraction-free smart typewriter.) Hemingwrite pays homage to the most iconic literary personality of the last century. The Hemingwrite is an official limited release in collaboration with the Ernest Hemingway estate.

Hemingwrite retains all the Freewrite features, plus:

  • A hand-polished aluminum chassis and green keycaps
  • Ernest Hemingway's official signature
  • The Hemingwrite Attaché Case
  • A monogrammed, microfiber cloth

We only created 200 pieces total, and each unit is finished by hand so no two are exactly alike. Additionally, the raw aluminum surface will develop a completely unique patina with age, making each Hemingwrite a beautiful one-of-a-kind collector's piece.

Learn more about the story at Hemingwrite.com. If you've already checked out the site, you can get Hemingwrite here.

"Read, read, read," William Faulkner proclaimed. "Read everything — trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it, just like the carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it. Then write."

And, in our opinion, this exploration shouldn't be limited to literature.

Let’s explore this technique of creating inspiration for yourself no matter what the muses may be thinking.
