I would love to help the creative process!

Hello friends, I absolutely love reading and grammar and I'd love to become a makeshift editor for anyone who wants one! I've had quite a few of my friends have me edit and reword their stories and books. I really enjoy helping a story be the best it can be. I'm mainly doing this because I need a new hobby. I'm very reliable and won't upright ditch you in the middle of a project. I'm willing to do this for 100% free, just private message me. But also make sure you leave a comment under this post so I know who to expect messages from, I won't respond to an unsolicited chat request. I'm so so excited to help!

*edit: I'm not interested in working with explicit material, but thank you to everyone who asked for reaching out!*

Looking for writing buddies/coauthors

Hi everyone! I'm a young (23M) aspiring writer with lots of big ideas and no people to really share them with. I've been creating a universe where all kinds of stories can fit in (ranges from fantasy to scifi in the timeline, no genres particularly off limits yet), and I'm looking for a few friends to join in and write with me. I really want to turn this into a shared universe where we all get together and make ideas and change how the world works! Mostly though, I just want people who can get invested in this universe and be as excited about it as I am :D because that kinda energy keeps me writing.

- I use Discord and Google Docs and like to vc frequently :D
- Would like people close-ish to my age, but won't be particular.
- Looking for probably 2-3 people

Group of writers that schedule time to write together?

I'm a writer that hasn't written in a while and I've noticed it's mostly due to my inability to set scheduled time for writing. I've heard people say things like "if there's something you'd like to do more often set aside time to yourself to do that" but I just really struggle to do that, however I have also realized that I prioritize things that are scheduled and involve people I like and am excited to be around (like DND for example) so I'm wondering if anyone know about a group of writers that set aside 1-2 hours a week to get together and write? Or if someone would be interested in starting a group like that?

Edit: I have made a discord server for this purpose so if anyone is interested in joining then here is the link https://discord.gg/8s3JjGE6dy

Writer friends online groups.

Are there any open groups to interact with writers? Maybe in discord or something! I'm looking for people to talk about writing and to see different works!

Does anyone need a brainstorm buddy?

I love nothing more than building new worlds, breaking stories apart, finding plot twists that hit like a truck. It the most fun thing I know.

If you stuck on your story, your world, your characters, anything, just talk to me. We can make it a weekly thing, daily thing, whatever you need.

I just want someone to go crazy with ideas together.

Daily Writing Platform!

I made a daily writing competition for flash fiction (~250) words, because the monthly pay-to-submit things just felt like I was writing into empty space.

My goal was to get people to write to a new creative writing prompt every day, and to give each other feedback on those stories.

Right now we’re averaging between 6-9 stories per day, and I am personally writing critiques/feedback for every story each day.

If this sounds cool to you, let me know! It’s called Emberstory, and it’s still pretty new. But the community is already there and growing pretty quickly!

Looking for writing buddy interested in Game Writing/Narrative Design

I’m looking for a friend willing to learn with me. (I’m a novice, so another novice would be great but not necessary) Though I’m currently a hobbyist, I hope to get into game writing or narrative design. I love anything fantasy, but I’m willing to delve into other genres as well. It would be great if I can bounce ideas off of, share inspiration with, and get feedback from you. (Though accountability is appreciated as well) Hopefully we can help each other learn and grow as writers! Feel free to DM me!

I made a free tool that helps you get better at writing

Hello, thought I’d share this here.

I’ve always looked for different ways to improve my own writing skills. I built this for myself, and let a few others try it out and got convinced to turn it into a full tool.

It gives you writing exercises like copywork, dialogue, show-don’t-tell, sentence rhythm, sensory detail, and scene goals. You can upload your own .epub book files to use for the copywork exercise.

After you write, it analyzes patterns your writing.

The exercises update based on the results of your previous writing, so your next session forces you to practice areas where you’re weak in.

It’s 100% free to use: writingpractice.app

If you find that there’s something that needs to be fixed or ideas for exercises that should be added, just let me know. I am working solo and will try to add it quickly

✦Ink Afterhours (18+ ONLY)

Hello everyone! I hope you're all having a wonderful evening!

I'm reaching out in hopes to meet creative writers, artists, OC creators, and storytelling enthusiasts- as I created a server for an imaginative community! We are slowly growing, and in doing so, we were able to start up our first weekly writing prompt! In addition to this, we are looking for feedback and incorporating new elements that can have our community feel even more connected and inspired. Please be aware that this is an 18+ server ONLY, as there is an optional NSFW toggle.

If you love conjuring OC lore, sharing your writing pieces, indulging over world-building, and talking all things creative, I believe we have a place for you (and our role-players too! ^^)

We especially adore chatty people, bring us all your ideas and what you've been working on! We love to share the excitement with everyone!

Looking for online writer friends, or if possible, a small writing group

Greetings dear writers, I'm looking for fellow writing friends that would love to share their ideas on their stories or talk about their passion for writing or possibly join my small writing group where we can talk about writing, share inspiration and give motivition, exchange feedback, give support to each other, etc.

A little about me: Currently working on two writing passion projects, one short Western Horror slasher story (which is on hiatus) and one psychological literary low fantasy novel. The latter is my main project I'm currently working on at the moment and have been working on it for about five months (drafting and have only reached 16k words) but have been plotting it for years. I basically write dark/low fantasy (or anything fantasy really), horror, gothic and anything with literary realism. My inspiration comes from everywhere tbh, but mainly through music (heavily influenced by rock, metal, classicals, dark pop and more), cinema and books that I read.

I'm looking for people that are willing to meet online via Discord on a weekly basis at least. (I have a discord so I'll add you to my server, not really common with it but i'll get there). If you have better alternatives please feel free to reach out.

Any level of writing experience is welcome so dm me. I would say I have some experience in writing such as formatting as well as editing/proofreading but that was just my own work lol. The maximum number of people in my group is preferrably less than 20 people. Anyone, whether M or F, 18+ is welcome to join (no minors, my work is explicitly for 18+ individuals).

If you think you and I vibe then hmu!!

My Writer'sClub Discord Community

Disclaimer: ok Not sure if I use the right flair for this so please let me know if i need to change it. I would welcome any feedback on how to improve this post if needed.

I saw another post about their discord community on here as well so I figured It was okay on here If I'm wrong I'll be happy to take this down since I'm still learning the rules I've gone over the rules but still not a hundred percent sure on everything due to being new.

Anyway I have a discord community called the Writer'sClub It's For writers of all skill level I'm currently building a group of specialist people who specialize in certain areas of writing No this is not mean that they have a degree in writing but these are people who have written long enough to be really good in one area of writing.

The goal is to bring writers readers together to help educate and to provide resources to those who may struggle in finding them or even attaining them for people like me who add struggle with this for most of her life due to the fact of being introverted and not really knowing what is a good resource and what isn't over time I have been able to attain some books However I haven't always been this lucky and now I want to help people who are in the position that I used to be and help them attain this information through mentorship or shared resources.

This includes specialists that specialize in one area of writing and beta readers who are willing to volunteer their time freely to Read through your works and give you feedback to help you improve your craft. Not only that but my community has also partnered with other writing communities and are willing to put out more partnerships with other writing communities to create a multi writing hub that can interconnect and bring resources from all areas of discord and allow people to expand their knowledge in ways through the communities that are willing to work together in order to help each other and help those less fortunate than ourselves We are looking for people who are interested in writing or even if you are a reader who would like to learn about the writing process or even possibly become a beta reader In order to help others all we ask is that those who join are respectful and willing to take the responsibility of mentorship seriously.

Those who agree to do a partnership with us such as those who run other discord communities are offered a position on the council in order to give their community a voice When the new guidelines are added His community is not just open to writers but all areas of storytelling process including artwork as well as poetry songwriting and other areas If you specialize in something that we do not have a tag for already I am more than willing to create new titles and new chat rooms upon request Cuz to me my writing community isn't just my own but it is belongs to the members that have given their time and effort into help growing this community to make it Even better than it was when it first started I would love to have you Don't matter your skill level or knowledge level All are welcome and no matter what your questions are welcomed as well even if you think it might be silly.

Come join our family If you have any questions or concerns before choosing to join please feel free and comfortable to PM me not just about your interest but about any questions or concerns you might have from one writing friend to another I look forward to hearing from you.
