Hello! My name is J. C. Cauthon, and I write books for other writers such as myself. I publish a writing prompt collection every other month on Amazon, share writer resources through my blog and newsletter monthly, and much more.

I also offer free daily writing prompts on my website, http://jccauthon.wordpress.com.

You can also sign up for my mailing list: https://www.subscribepage.com/jccauth...

You can find me most places on the web, but I tend to stick to only a few social websites. If you want to see the inspiration behind my projects, you can check out my Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/cauthonj

Instagram and Facebook are also two great places to catch up me. I try to update these daily with at least a writing prompt, but the more ti ...more
