About Benton
Benton Savage
Writing for decades.
Benton’s journey has taken him from the bustling streets of the East Coast to the serene shores of Key West, and the rugged landscapes of Colorado. His eclectic experiences across the United States have shaped his perspective and profoundly influenced his writing voice.
Benton has been hobby writing since 1999. Started writing novels, memoir, and short shorties, eventually publishing his first novel in 2011. Around the start of the pandemic in 2020, Benton started experimenting with short form writing, and eventually took to Instagram, where he discovered Instagram’s self-help style poetry community.
How Benton Works

Idea Phase
Usually, Benton has a significant experience that inspires a story or poem. He tends to know it right when it happens, since he’s always seeing things through the lens of a writer.
02
Draft Writing
Benton invests hours into drafting his experience-based ideas, sometimes in quick spirts, but often in hours long writing sessions.
03
Editing
Drafts get sent off to experienced and professional editors for edits, comments, and suggestions. Benton is often heavily involved in this process.
