We host weekly meetings on our Discord server.
In-person sessions will be temporarily held at a member's home
until a new venue is secured.

Our Services
Low or No-Cost Options
Our regular meetings are available at no cost to our members, and we aim to keep social gatherings within our members' budgets. However, we welcome donations to help fund our website and add new features for our members, but it is not a requirement to join.
Critique Sessions
We offer the opportunity for our members to help others in person and online to build their writing skills constructively, actively, and respectfully. In addition, we have a 6-month Novel Workshop for more in-depth critiques. Please click here for more information.
Regular Meetings
We have weekly meetings that include activities such as writing sprints and critique sessions. We also meet every Monday online through Discord. All of our meetings and social events are offered to everyone from beginners to published authors, and every level in between.
Diverse Environment
We encourage everyone to be professional, considerate, and supportive of their fellow group members. Our goal is to create an environment where our members feel safe to share their voices, ideas, and help build each other up.

“ The people involved were sincere, down to earth and supportive of each other. I don't think anyone felt left out. Unicorns would be welcomed in this group :) ”

"Fun, helpful group. I want to develop my story, my characters, my imagination so that I can write my book instead of dream about it."
