Looking for new writer friends :)

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.

Two writing goblins looking for friends

Hello everyone, We (32f and 30f) are a creative duo looking for a writing friend. It would be great to find someone to bounce ideas off, give each other feedback on our writing, and perhaps just chat a bit about our passion for writing.

The story we're working on together is an urban-fantasy crime mystery with a touch of romance and a hint of spice, set in Victorian-era Edinburgh. We’re combining a certain cozy charm with dark mystery elements. There'll be several novella-length volumes following the adventures of the main characters: A curious Sherlock wannabe detective lady and her gentle werewolf assistant.

It all started as a two-player D&D adventure with a setting we made up ourselves, and we now have 14 cases, plus additional spin-offs, which are being adapted into books.

… We've got a bit carried away. But we always have a lot of fun. As we're actually from Germany but write in English as non-native speakers (we write by ourselves, no ai), we'd particularly welcome a native speaker to maybe help us with idioms and the like. That said, we're also happy to just swap ideas with someone else and simply have fun supporting each other creatively.

Since we read mostly everything and more mostly genre fiction, we are open for everything. Really, if you are passionate about your story, we'd love to be part in making it grow even more <3

We mostly use discord to chat. And we are not looking for big groups because it's always so hard to fit in and we are both more introverted, than extroverted. So we'd love to chat in a smaller setting and maybe really become friends?

Yours
The creative goblin duo

Looking for Writing Friends Who Won’t Disappear. ALL ARE WELCOME

I’m looking for writing friends who are actually interested in, you know… continuing to be friends. Revolutionary concept, I know.

I’m Julia, 33, from Brazil, and I write romance—contemporary, fantasy, paranormal, sci-fi… basically, if there’s chemistry and emotional damage involved, I’m probably interested. 😂 I’ve been writing for around 20 years and recently finished the first draft of a small-town romance, so I’m in that wonderful stage where I desperately want to talk about writing all the time.

I’d love to find people who want to exchange ideas, scream about fictional characters, share WIPs, celebrate tiny victories, complain about plot holes, and occasionally send each other a completely unhinged message like “I just killed someone and now I don’t know what to do.”

All genres, ages, countries, and experience levels are welcome! Published author? Come say hi. Writing your first 500 words? Come say hi. Have been staring at the same opening paragraph for three weeks? Especially come say hi.

I’m not looking for someone who replies every five minutes or anything—life happens! I just want genuine friendships that don’t mysteriously vanish after three messages. 😭

So… writers of Reddit, where are you hiding? 👀

Looking for writer friends

Hi,

I'm 49F. Just finished the first book in my epic fantasy trilogy and have started to outline the second.

I'm an English speaker who lives in rural France. I rarely meet other English speakers and even fewer reader and writers of fantasy. Most people here read literary, mystery or romance.

Writing is lonely work and while I enjoy the writing process I'd like to share work, critiques, worldbuilding ideas, craft ideas, or just catch up on writing life and woes with other writers. I'm essentially looking at a positive support group. People being there for each other.

I don't really care about your age, but I'd prefer interacting with writers who write fantasy and Sci-fi. I'm not into anything grim dark or horror. But I do love mysteries, thrillers, romance and literary fiction as long as violence and toxicity are not the driving forces of the story.

If this seems like something you'd like, please do dm me. I'd love to catch up :)

Disabled poet looking for friends

I'm 38F and a poet, though I've also written fiction, memoir, and essays in the past. I'm currently finishing up my first full length poetry book.

I'd really love to make some friends who are also writers. I can't do much critique because I'm very disabled and chronically ill. It impacts my ability to talk and type normally so I can't do a lot of editing but I'm happy to read a bit and give some general thoughts. Looking for the same.

I'm also happy just to chat with people and talk about writing and life, music, TV etc. Whatever we end up talking about. It would be great to have a close online friend who gets the creative stuff and we have those kind of things in common.

I'm very left leaning and queer. Please be LGBTQIA+ friendly. And I appreciate when people are sensitive and empathetic around my disabilities, and if they're not sure what to say, I'm always happy to give feedback on that.

Thanks!

37M Looking for a writing buddy.

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.

Looking for a writer friend (and a casual writing accountability partner)

I went from writing too much to not writing at all and it is getting on my nerves now. I have always struggled with consistency but when I get into something, I just get too deep into it and when I am out of it, I find it awfully difficult to get back.

I am trying to befriend a fellow writer to stay in writing zone for a bit if not long so that I get some writing done. I haven't written in a long time so just planning to either get back to my old projects or write something new. I mostly write romance.

I am just hoping to check in with someone every day for our daily writing goals. I am 29F if it matters.

Please feel free to reach out if someone is interested.

Writer Friends or Group

Hey y'all, I write an original fantasy adventure series and would love to bounce ideas off other fellow writers! I live in CST and try to write something every day even if it's a few hundred words. Progress is progress after all!

Looking for Writer Friends/ a (small) Group

Hello you out there!

After spending most of my writing years doing so alone (with the odd friendship through RP and uni) I thought I'd give this a shot and mayhaps find writer friends and/or build a small friend group of writers (and beyond).

About me: I'm Lucy, a 29F writer based in Germany but writing in English. I mostly write Fantasy (from high fantasy, to urban, to Dark Academia) and (soft) Sci Fi, though I have a finished thriller lying about on my hard drive. I love gushing about characters and chapters, plot bunnies and would love to have a few people to feed off of (aka motivate each other, hype up projects, share project art etc.etc.)

So if you're around my age, love writing, are interested in others' projects, feel free to hit me up! Bonus points if you also like fantasy/sci fi :)

Any one want to do writing sprints

Like the title says, does anyone want to do writing sprints? I’m 24f and write queer urban fantasy. I learned that writing sprints are a fun way to get words written. Writing sprints are we write for a few minutes and meet back up to talk. So, if anyone is interested please reach out.

Looking for a writer friend/buddy to gush and build a friendship beyond that

Hey you out there! :)

After reading so many book as a kid and seeing someone in my school class doing written RP, I wanted to try it myself and over the last 18+ years, I did just that — write. I wrote many different things, like Screenplays in uni, short stories, poems (kind of), RP and a few attempts at writing my own book, but in the end, I never finished a story. I could name so many reasons why and I think for a long time I held myself back with them. But does it really matter? Today is just as good a day to start and try again as yesterday was.

I'm by no means a ray of sunshine all the time, but lately there's this odd, euphoric feeling, like a want to create something, to actually do it, even if it turns out rather bad in the beginning. Right now I'm working on something of my own and I've started planning a story and even have a prologue. It's a beginning and that already feels like something!

As much as I adore my friends, I'm looking for a real friendship built around writing (also outside of it). Not a writing partner in the collaborative sense (I'm not a good fit then but I'm always happy to exchange thoughts or give feedback if that's ever useful), but someone I can share ideas with. Someone who gets genuinely excited when I talk about a scene or a character, and about whose ideas I can get just as excited about. Someone to send a song to at 2am because it perfectly captures a mood, or a picture that reminds me of something from their story or mine. Someone to do the occasional writing sprint with, to have those conversations about what moves us, what we're creating, why we keep coming back to it even when it's hard. Honestly, it doesn't matter to me whether someone finally wants to write a longterm fanfic or their own (debut) book, in whatever genre, as long as you have the desire to write and to build a friendship along the way. I also know myself well enough to say that staying motivated isn't always easy and I think assuming someone will always be equally fired up just doesn't work. But that's exactly what a writer friend is for, to remind you why you're doing it and be there on the quiet days too.

So yeah after a lot of rambling, I'm (30F, CET) looking for a person (not a group) who is close to my age (25+) and wants the same thing. Oh, and obviously it doesn't matter if you're queer or bipoc. Safe space, everyone welcome!! (Would love to find other mixed/black writers tho).

If this resonates with you, please reach out and tell me a little about yourself — who you are, what you're working on, what you're looking for. I'd love to hear all about it!! Also, this should be a low-pressure kind of friendship, so if you're struggling with mental health in any form, don't be afraid to reach out too! :)

Edit: Sorry if you tried DM me, reddit seems to hate me at the moment. If you can't reach out via DM pls let me know in the comments! :)

Hi! I’m looking for some fellow writer friends. I’m new to writing 😁

Hi guys! I'm kinda new to writing a story, right now I’m currently writing my story that’s been on my mind for a long time now. Which is why I’ve finally decided to finally write my story now and make this as my passion project and hopefully publish this someday. I’m looking for new friends who can edit, critique, help me write and throw in some ideas. 

My story is a dark fantasy adventure about a god who was punished by other gods to live in the mortal realm due to waging a war with mortals. So he tries to fix his mistake by doing labours and getting rid of all the witches in the mortal realm (witches are the major villains in the story). 

A little info about me: I’m 23, I’m in my last year of college, I enjoy watching anime, cartoons, movies, playing video games, and drawing. I began thinking about my story ever since I was 10 but I wasn’t able to write it yet because I kept changing it every year just to make sure which works better or which ones don’t. If you’re someone who plays videogames feel free to hit me up I’m down to play some with you.

If you guys are interested feel free to send me a dm.

Looking for 25years + friends to talk about books, writing, and life,

Hi! I'm 33F, a writer and historian from Brazil, and I'm looking to meet some new friends who are 25+ and interested in actually getting to know each other beyond the usual small talk.

I'm currently writing contemporary romance and would love to connect with other writers, readers, or simply people who enjoy storytelling. I'm always happy to talk about writing, characters, plot ideas, books, fictional relationships, the struggles of getting words onto a page, or the eternal question of why dialogue is so much harder than it looks. 😂

I'm a big romance reader, but I also love fantasy, historical fiction, and anything with compelling characters and a good story. I'm particularly fond of Jane Austen, Sarah J. Maas, The Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, and Downton Abbey.

But I don't want this to be only about books and writing. I'm looking for people who enjoy having deeper conversations about life, ideas, dreams, opinions, random thoughts, and everything in between. I'm also perfectly happy with completely ridiculous conversations that start with “I have a very important question…” and end somewhere completely unexpected.

I'm looking for genuine friendships, preferably with people 25+, where we can share what we're reading, talk about our writing projects, recommend things to each other, encourage each other creatively, and just become friends naturally.

If that sounds like your kind of friendship, send me a message! Tell me a little about yourself, what you like to read or write, and what you've been obsessed with lately. 💌

Hi!

I am an aspiring animator who needs help from a writer to bring my story alive and it will be completely unpaid, I am sorry. 😭 Okay, so long story short, I am an avid reader who used to be kind of a writer few days ago. And an idea was sitting at the back of my mind for months. But since I left it because I had null intrest in writing. I thought to get help from a writer who could help me in doing this and who knows we could be freinds as well. So this idea will contain many trigger warnings, kinks, violence and sm*t and LGBT+ people as side characters. So please do not delve into further if you are not comfortable with any of these. The main couple will be hetero and there might be side-couples too. This story will fall under Dark Romance/Romance. So, I would prefer you to be an avid reader of it so that you can understand how story will progress, what twists & turns it will take, how much characters will be twisted, character development and etc. I need you to upload it on Wattpad/Inkitt or any other platform. There will be no credits due from my side, you can make the story completely yours, I just need to read it.😭And I will respond to only whom I select, please do not leave it in the middle because you'll be the only one I will share with, so please. And after you're done with the Prologue, first chapter or anything which is tangible to upload, please send me the story, so I can follow it. 🫶 And if anyone's struggling with Writer's block maybe I could be of some help. Thank you so much! Hope we can be great freinds in the future as well. 💕
