US Represented is a site dedicated to free speech and creative expression. We showcase a wide variety of writers, artists, and musicians in order to reflect the communities in which we live while also addressing a broader audience.

We feature nonfiction works, travel and nature writing, and human interest pieces, to include memoirs and personal essays. We also share short stories, serialized novels, and poetry. We address environmental and sustainability issues, and we cover the music scene as well, interviewing band members and showcasing their talents to a worldwide audience. We feature visual artists, too, working with each of them to create a USR hosted gallery linked to the artists’ websites. As a result, our readership spans the globe.

Thanks for stopping by. We hope you like our site, and we'll always be posting USR work here as well.
