Will Eaton - Writing Portfolio
Hi! I like to write!
As a writer, I get asked in a variety of contexts what the things I'm writing are about. And while I'm generally more than happy to discuss what themes they explore, or what specific books influenced my writing style at the time that I was writing, or what stylistic choices I made and why, this isn't always the easiest question for me to answer.
​
Because, with some exceptions, my philosophy on writing is that the story itself can be secondary to whatever ideas of value are conveyed through the novel form. And I thoroughly enjoy reading books about nothing, that deal in abstraction and imaginative prose; and I like to apply those elements of the books that I like to read to the pieces of writing I put out.
I am a 23-year-old writer from Portland, Oregon. I have a passion for reading and writing, and I would like to one day become a full-time novelist.
​
Outside of my literary pursuits, I enjoy running, nature, and spending time with friends and family.
​
I graduated from Dartmouth College with a degree in Government. And in 2022, after four years of mental stagnation, I devoted myself to reading one good book per week. It was a fantastic decision, and it has nourished a love for fiction which I never even knew I had.
