Finding a writing community can be hard! Need feedback? A group of fellow writers? Writing guidance? We want to help.

On Wednesday, August 18th, we will be hosting a Remote Open House to talk about upcoming Fall 2021 classes!

You may have heard, these days many writers are waiting. Waiting to hear back from their overwhelmed agents. Waiting to hear from busy publishers. Waiting for Covid to really be OVER so they can do live book events again. Waiting for inspiration becuase they're exhausted by the last year and a half.
