julio 21, 2025 | 2 lectura mínima

It’s literary legend Ernest Hemingway’s birthday week, and we’re throwing "a moveable feast" in his honor.

It's your chance to get a Hemingwrite completely free.

NOTE: The winner has been announced. Learn all about Shannon Liao right here.

A Moveable Feast, Hemingway's posthumously published memoir about life in Paris as a young writer was named by his widow, Mary, as an homage to something he once wrote to a friend:

"wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast."

We feel the same way about writing.

Whether you're returning to writing after a long break, or never left it, the magic of creating something out of nothing never ceases to bring joy, frustration, and awe, no matter where in the world you may find yourself.

So we're hosting our own moveable feast:  aspecial promotion to help you return to the essence and joy of writing again and again.

From Monday, July 21, through Sunday, July 27, every person who purchases the Ernest Hemingway Freewrite Signature Edition Smart Typewriter will be automatically entered to win a full refund. One lucky writer will get their Hemingwrite completely free.

"Wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast." We feel the same way about writing.

Meet Hemingwrite

Ernest Hemingway redefined modern storytelling and inspired generations of writers to do the same. Inspired by the bold, no-nonsense style of the man himself, Ernest Hemingway Freewrite Signature Edition Smart Typewriter is our homage to Papa.

Like his own portable Royal typewriter, Hemingwrite is designed for writers who understand that creativity flourishes when it's just you, your words, and the satisfying click of keys that echo the rhythm of great literature.

It's a tribute to a writing life — the quiet mornings, the hard-won sentences, the stories that take shape one keystroke at a time.

So, pour yourself a café au lait, pretend you're in a Parisian cafe, and get ready to write. Purchase a Hemingwrite between now and July 27, and you just might get it for free.

Happy birthday, Hemingway. Let's toast to timeless stories, beautiful sentences, and the joy of writing wherever life takes you. Let the feast begin.
