There is no need to write alone—find your community!


Join me in community at the Writers’ Loft! Now that we are virtual, anyone can join in! Whether you are looking for critique groups, querying support, self-publishing guidance, workshops, agent/editor events, or writerly social gatherings, we’ve got you covered!


A Facebook group dedicated to helping each other banish the mindset, skillset, and resource barriers that get in the way of creative production! This group rests on the knowledge, kindness, and creativity of every member of this community. Feel free to seek out accountability partners, ask for help with best practices, and celebrate your WINs! What can we do to help you WIN your next writing/creating goal?!


One stop shopping for all your community needs. Search for local writing groups and retreats here. Make sure to check out their annual conference while you are at their site and I’ll see you there!


Conferences are a great way to connect with fellow writers and industry professionals. Some of my favorites: NE-SCBWI Spring Conference, Hollihock, James River Writers, StoryQuest at the Writers’ Loft, 20 Books to 50K, and Whispering Pines. If you are a picture book writer, click through the link to learn more about StoryQuest at the Writers’ Loft.


From SCBWI for kidlit, to RWA for romance, there’s a genre community for everyone. If you are self-publishing, you can join communities like 20 books to 50K.
