We have covered this topic before but now will have a look at some of the base free alternative themes for writers.
Recently one of my readers asked:
what free WordPress themes would I recommend for upcoming authors?
So I set out looking for some of the most functional visually appealing themes I could find. Whether you are a burgeoning poet, a hobbyist wanting to share his/her thoughts or freelance writer, I am sure you will find a theme you can use in the collection below.
Prominent designs keep popping up over and over again, and that is a full-screen layout. The reason for this is that it focuses the reader’s attention and the content rather than being distracted by sidebars.
