r/WriteWithMe

I'm 46, male, and based in the UK. I'm confident in my writing and ideas, but what I struggle with is finding the focus and prioritising actually doing the work. To make things worse, I'm constantly coming up with new ideas! I'd really like to take my writing more seriously.

I'd like to find someone who I'm able to check in with, maybe once a week or every other week or so, just to talk about what we're writing (if you/me are comfortable), but moreover, keeping each other accountable - perhaps being able to talk about aims, wordcount, etc. I'm a therapist in my working life, so I'm very comfortable offering this same thing to people in return.

Not sure what other information I would need to provide but happy to do so!

Heeeey guys. I’m Lucy, hi 👋 40 🇬🇧
Would love to connect with horror loving writers out there hopefully in the uk so we are in the same time zone. I’m in a fab fb group but all the good stuff happens when I’m asleep 🤦🏻‍♀️

I made a discord group for anyone wanting to chit chat

Don't know if anyone's down but I'm currently writing a book and looking for a collaboration. it's not professional or anything, it's just for funs. Writers, authors, artists, hit me up for a collab.

Hello everyone! I'm 24F and have been writing since I was a teenager, and it's something that genuinely has brought me so much joy in my life that I have always loved sharing it. That's why I'm looking for some new people to talk about writing with and maybe even become friends!

I'd love to find people to talk to, so we can bounce ideas off of each other, share our lores and plots, and also read some of each other's work for fun :)

If you're interested, feel free to shoot me a DM!

Thank you for reading and have a nice day/night.

Grimdark, fantasy, sci-fi, absurdist sci-fi, speculative fiction --

Looking to get some reps and help somebody actually finish a book. I’m not looking to take over your world—I want to work inside your sandbox as a co-writer and help push the project across the finish line. I come at this with an engineering/project-management grindset. I’ve published fiction and nonfiction, and had technical articles appear in national trade publications.

I’m especially useful if you already have chapter beats, scene notes, an outline, or a partial manuscript. Give me the setup and what a chapter needs to accomplish, and I can turn it into a first-pass draft for you to revise, expand, polish, or completely rework. I’m also especially comfortable writing first-person POV for different characters and finding a distinct voice for each one.

I don’t need to be the quarterback. I want to co-author and collaborate. Grimdark, fantasy, sci-fi, absurdist sci-fi, speculative fiction -- If you want three years of magic-system discussions and polishing Chapter 3, I’m really really not your guy. Let's put something on paper, write it, break it, fix it and move to the next chapter or scene. If the mission is getting usable pages written and eventually reaching 90,000 words, let’s talk.

Myself a malayalam speaking loser, with no achievements of any sort in life. Not talented enough to tell a story using words from my mouth without boring the person opposite.

Always been a bad reader, bought a lot of books for the titles but too many words to read. Watched so many movies and has been developing a story in my mind since the last 4 years. Now it's a two part story just sitting in my mind and because I am not a good reader of books I'm nowhere near ready to become a writer too.

I've been experimenting with c h a t g p t to help create the structure and claude to develop it to proper detailed chapters, but it all ends up more then than me.

What I need is a writing partner who would understand the story and give it the form it deserves. I think it deserves to be out there in the world.

So, like the title says, I'm looking for someone to help me make my Zoids fanfic better, I'm writing it on request, and I want to make sure it's actually good but I'm not confident in the current version of the chapter I'm working on.

I refuse to use that which must not be named on any basis... Help?

Ideally, I'd be getting feedback and suggestions on how to improve some dialogue and interactions, or even battle scenes... I'm trying to learn from this, and unfortunately there's no money involved. I'm willing to Co-author?

Link to the first chapter before it became a request: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14577135/0/

If the link doesn't work it's called: Zoids New Century 0: Return Chaotic.

Hi! I (F25) am looking for someone to bounce ideas off, specifically about the magic system of my fantasy novel. I am currently editing after receiving some feedback from beta readers and was told that my magic system was very soft and hard to get behind. I agree that it has many holes and things that don't make a lot of sense, and I want to fix that by adding hard rules and actually fleshing out the magic system.

I've always been more of the "just write" type, which is why I need you, dear worldbuilders! If you enjoy fussing over details and puzzling out intricate magic systems, you're exactly who I'm looking for.

Of course I'd be more than happy to give something back. Whether that is to bounce ideas off about your novel, exchange chapters, or help with plotting etc. I have a fair bit of experience as a beta reader and would love to assist in whatever way possible.

I'd love to hear from you!

Hi! I’m looking for someone who’d be interested in writing stories together

I wouldn’t really call myself a writer tbh I’m much more of a storyteller and editor. I love coming up with characters, plots, worlds, themes, and scenes, and I have a bunch of story ideas that currently exist as outlines or partially developed concepts

(Edit: just for context I studied storytelling/ scriptwriting/ creative writing for three years that’s why I am able to create great plots and such but I’m not the best writer)

I’d love to find someone who genuinely enjoys the actual writing side of things and wants to collaborate we can take an idea, bounce things back and forth, develop the characters and story together, and eventually turning it into something complete

I have ideas across different genres (mostly interested in romance or science fiction/ dystopian/ fantasy) so if this sounds like something you’d enjoy, feel free to DM me and tell me a little about what you like to write!

Hello everyone, I am looking to do an apocalypse type of thing where either aliens or robots take over the world. I would want a small group of people trying to survive. Kind of like the tv show Falling Skies.

​

I'm sitting in the middle of a final draft of my first novel, so I'm looking for someone to share the writing process with.

It's a contemporary supernatural mystery about a duo investigating haunted objects, starting with a haunted Toby Jug. It's character-driven, occasionally dark, and there's quite a bit of humour in it.

I'm not really looking for a formal critique partner or anything too structured. More someone to talk writing with, swap ideas, complain about difficult chapters, and occasionally send each other something we've written.

Happy to read other people's work too. UK timezone would be handy, but I'm not fussed where you're based.

I can't pick favourite books but I suppose I can with authors. In no particular order:

Tana French, King, Clive Barker, James Herbert, Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams and David Eddings.

My discord handle is the same as my reddit handle if you prefer to message there.

Holaa, esto es un poco random jajaja, pero hace rato tengo ganas de empezar a escribir una novela y se me ocurrió que estaría mucho más chévere hacerlo con otra persona en vez de hacerlo completamente sola.

Tengo una idea base para una historia romántica/dramática, pero no quiero tener todo planeado yo sola. Me gustaría encontrar a alguien que también quiera aportar ideas, crear personajes, pensar escenas, discutir la trama y básicamente ir construyendo la historia entre los dos.

No voy a contar toda la idea por aquí porque prefiero explicarla por privado si alguien está interesado jajaja.

Más que nada busco alguien de 14 a 20 años, porque me gustaría trabajar con alguien que esté más o menos en mi misma etapa y que pueda entender bien la forma en que quiero desarrollar a los personajes y sus emociones.

No hace falta que seas escritor profesional ni nada de eso. Yo tampoco estoy buscando algo súper formal jajaja. Solo quiero encontrar a alguien que de verdad tenga ganas de escribir, sea creativo/a, pueda expresar bien las emociones de los personajes y sobre todo que tenga compromiso para no abandonar el proyecto después de dos días 😭.

Si te interesa, puedes comentar o escribirme por privado y me cuentas un poquito sobre ti, qué tipo de libros te gustan y qué te gustaría escribir.

Y si no, igual gracias por leer mi pequeña locura jajaj .

About me, Male, Italian, 19yo, I can speak English or Italian proficiently, I don’t want to be rude but I’d rather not work with minors or at least understand the age of 16, due to legal reasons connected to profits or other things

Hello, like I wrote in the title, I’m looking for either an artist or even just someone who is interested in a collab for my manhwa idea, to share the creation and idealization side, if there is an artist who’s down to do so even better, as we could make images as we go to envision the project better, coupe of details

I’m sorry to preface this to all artists, but as everyone has their own style, for my manhwa I’m strict and already have a style envisioned, so I hope no one gets offended if I reject a drawling style, not because I don’t like them, simply because they don’t fit what I’m trying to make, styles I’d enjoy are

Realistic on the
Legend of the northern blade
Windbreaker (Bicylces)
Type manhwas

If you still are interested in the collab even though your drawing style doesn’t imitate these, please feel free to send me drafts or your art, I’ll consider anyone properly either way

For everyone else, who is simply interested in the conceptual side here are a couple of details

The manhwa is a murim/martial arts based manhwa, I envision a big project and already have the main storyline down, and trust me it’s long, long enough to hopefully be picked up by an editor, unfortunately it is an unpaid project for now, but eventually I’m down to equally share any profit if the manhwa gets attention,
And I want to preface I don’t need someone who accepts any idea I throw out and are down just to be there and hopefully make profits, I want them to engage actively, to discuss world building, scripting, ideas of any kind, because when argumenting I get the best ideas, this goes for both artists or just eventual conceptual partners, please dm me or write comments under this post and I’d be more than happy to answer in as much detail as possible

Couple of details about the manhwa itself

Follows the journey of a young martial artist who doesn’t have a home anymore so he wanders around the world, in fact the thistle of the manhwa and his eventual title in the murim would be

The Nomad

Please, I hope you can first engage with the post before dismissing a potential collaboration

Hi, my name is Carolynne. A little about myself, I'm an author with two traditionally published books and I have a Bachelor's of Art in English. I write dark fantasy romance. I am looking for a casual new writing buddy. I mostly enjoy reading my story aloud and vise versa and swapping suggestions and what not, but I'm open to anything. I prefer phone/text, but I can also create a discord if that is a more comfortable option. DM me if interested, can provide phone number/create discord.

Hi! 38/female. I started writing romance fantasy and contemporary books. I’m an accountant by day so I wouldn’t say writing is my strong suit but I’m roughly 65k words into my first novel and plenty of other ideas to write about. I’ve had friends read portions of my book and so far feedback has been great.

I want to work with someone to at minimum review each other’s work, but truly having someone to write books with is my goal. I’d love a 50/50 partnership.

If you’re based in Texas that would be even better. No preferences on if you’re male, female, gay, straight or anything. Going off vibes of the person and similar writing styles.

I am looking for writer friends, preferable experienced writers that want to grow as storytellers and worldbuilders. We have 4 active members so far.

DM me for more info

Writing a co authored book with two main characters...one male, which will be my part, and the female part would be 'you'.

I don't want to share too much. This is stage ome of sharing. And then will share the next part with the right candidates and then work out who would be the right fit

Hey, I'm looking to add a few consistent writing partners who may be available for a few posts a day and are interested in lore, worldbuilding and drama - I have concepts for a few loosely vampire the masquerade inspired characters, mages, necromancers and more - some are serious, stoic character and others are goofballs with spooky powers and hearts of gold.

If you have a character or plot you're itching to use, let me know and we can see which of mine I can match up to yours!
