Our History

Montreal freelance web designer, Bobby Zimalis, is the original founder, main contributor, editor & web developer behind 2 SOLITUDES. His other web projects can be viewed at his Web Site Portfolio.

The idea of a community website focusing on Montreal writers began around 2002 .. the Internet was still in its infancy and most people still had never heard of a ‘Blog’ but the feeling that an online platform to showcase Montreal writers would be welcomed was gaining momentum.

“The freelance writer is a man who is paid per piece or per word or perhaps.”
