The Wrong Speak Network

Dare to bewrong occasionally

Wrong Speak is deliberately Orwellian sounding. It exists for people whose viewpoints sit slightly outside the accepted narrative and who would rather speak plainly than be quietly managed. Two entities carry that work forward: one in print, one on screen.

Adam B. Coleman, founder of Wrong Speak

Founder

Adam B. Coleman

Adam started Wrong Speak so ordinary people could put uncomfortable opinions and observations into the world without an editor sanding down the edges. That mission now runs through a publishing house, an opinion desk, and a documentary studio.
