About WritersBlock
Our Mission
WritersBlock was founded on a simple observation: the tools built to detect AI-generated writing are, with increasing frequency, accusing human writers of being machines. The consequences are real - failed courses, lost jobs, damaged reputations, and a creeping erosion of trust between writers and the institutions that depend on their work.
We exist to do three things. First, to tell the stories: long-form, deeply reported journalism about the human experiences behind the headlines. Who is being accused, why, and what happens next. Second, to equip writers: practical guides, tool reviews, and strategies for proving your work is authentic in a world that increasingly demands proof. Third, to build a community: a gathering of writers, educators, researchers, and advocates who believe the human voice matters and are willing to defend it.
We are a publication, not a platform. We are an editorial project, not a technology company. Every piece published on WritersBlock is written by a human being, fact-checked by a human being, and editorially reviewed by a human being. We have no AI writing tools. We have writers.
Editorial Standards
WritersBlock publishes no AI-generated content. Every article, essay, guide, and case study on this site is written by a named human contributor. Our editorial process includes fact-checking against primary sources, editorial review by at least one editor, and a published corrections policy. We do not publish sponsored content disguised as editorial. When we review a detection tool, our assessment is independent - we accept no payment from tool providers for reviews or placement.
We believe in transparency. If we make an error, we correct it publicly with a note explaining what changed and why. If a case study subject requests anonymity, we grant it - but we verify the underlying facts independently before publication.
Contact
We welcome submissions, pitches, case reports, and general inquiries. Visit our Contact & Submit page to get in touch with the editorial team, or subscribe to The Sunday Letter for weekly essays and updates.
Our Heritage
WritersBlock.net has a history that predates its current mission. The domain was home to an independent Dutch literary magazine in the early 2000s - a publication that reviewed books, profiled authors, and maintained a dictionary of contemporary literature. That editorial DNA lives on in everything we publish today. Read the full story of our literary heritage →
