The Freewrite community has so many incredibly talented writers who have used Freewrite to publish amazing work. We want to use this space to highlight the exceptional novels, screenplays, and essays that have been written on Freewrites all over the world. 

 1. White Peak - Ronan Frost

White Peak

Ronan Frost's White Peak is a fast-paced action thriller full of death-defying adventure.

Greg Rask, a dying tech billionaire, has invested millions chasing miracle cures. None of them are worth a damn, but he refuses to give up. Now, he’s gathering a team willing to go to the ends of the earth chasing life.

See how Freewrite helped Ronan Frost bring his novel to life: 

 2. Suspicion - Joshua Toro

 

 “Suspicion” is a short film that was written by Joshua Toro on his Freewrite. It was the recipient of the 2018 Yale University Howard R. Lamar Prize in Film and Video and was featured in the Austin Film Festival.

While most people know Freewrite's effectiveness in writing novels, not many people know that it is also quite effective for writing screenplays! Freewrite supports Fountain Syntax and exports drafts as .FDX files for easy importing into Final Draft.

 3. Blood Drops: A Collection of Horror Short Stories - W.B. Welch 

Blood Drops

 Blood Drops is an anthology of 18 short horror stories and the collection has been very well received! Whether we are following WB through a grim future where human meat is on the market, or trailing slowly behind while she introduces us to Marie Laveua's daughter, you can be certain of one thing: you will be surprised. The best and the most brutal of WB's work has been brought together in this all-too-believable collection.

Many of the short stories in Blood Drops were written on Freewrite, see what W.B. Welch had to say about the process: 

 

 4. Rockit Crew: The Adventures of Teenage Hip-Hop Misfits - Shane Robitaille

Shane Robitaille's debut novel, Rockit Crew, tells the story of 4 friends who become hip-hop outcasts in the summer of 1984 and learn about the power of friendship, life, death, and how hard it is to be unique in a town that doesn't always welcome those who are brave enough to be different.

Hear Shane talk about how Freewrite helped him write his first novel: 

 5. A Place of Silence - Liam Heneghan

While Liam Heneghan has written a novel on his Freewrite, he gets the highlight here for a beautiful essay he wrote, A Place of Silence.  Our world is more connected than ever these days, and Liam's essay is a reminder on how dedicating some time to silence can do wonders for your productivity and mental health.  This is the same idea that the Freewrite came from, so it's quite poetic that Liam's essay was written on Freewrite! 

Check out the essay here.

Astrohaus, the team behind Freewrite, is an American company. Like many American companies, and virtually all consumer electronic brands, our cost base is global. We work with contractors in Europe, in South America, and in Asia. We purchase components from a global supply chain and assemble our product in China, but make no mistake, we are an American company. The majority of our costs, including goods, services, and payroll, are from the United States. Most of our team lives in the Midwest. I founded this company in Detroit, Michigan, and am still here. I am proud to have built an American company that supports 10+ Americans and their families.

But now we are caught in a trade war that threatens our very existence. A war that was building up over time but has crescendoed to a point that no business owner could have prepared for. As I write this today, we have to pay an additional 145% of the cost of any product made in China as a tax to the U.S. Government.Yesterday it was 104%, up from 54%. In March it was 20% and in February it was 10%. Tomorrow?

Astrohaus is an importer because there is no consumer electronics industry in the U.S. China has emerged over the decades as the world's factory. At first, as a low-cost solution, but in 2025, they are undeniably the best in the world.

Now we are in a pickle because we have established relationships with our contract manufacturing partners that go back to when we started in 2014. Yes, some of the folks we work with today have been with us since the very beginning. They took a chance on us and helped us get off the ground. I have personally spent months on the ground in Hong Kong and China working closely with these folks, whom I now call friends.

Everyone, including our contract manufacturing partners, is helping us explore our options, but the truth is that it is incredibly difficult to move factories. It takes careful planning, huge expense, and much more time than we have.

Unfortunately, we can’t wait to let the trade war resolve itself, nor do we have the advantage big companies like Apple have with a diversified supply base in various countries. We must work with our existing supply base in China, and that means adjusting prices to cover some of our new costs. That's assuming a trade deal gets done, because 100%+ tariffs are simply untenable long term.

As one last hurrah, today through Sunday we will be keeping prices as they have been. Get them while they last.

On Monday, April 14, we will be raising prices. Not because we want to, but because we have to.Thank you for standing by us over the years. We aren’t going anywhere.

Write on,

Adam
