Writers' Cafe is my supportive online community for writers. We're focused on helping you get more writing done, through our weekly check-ins, our
live writing hours, writing prompts, feedback space, and more.
It's open to all writers: we'd love to have you in the Cafe whether you're working on a novel, short stories, blog, memoir, freelance career, poetry, several of those, or something else entirely!
What to Expect from Writers' Cafe
I opened up Writers' Cafe for
a short period of time before the summer, to bring on board a small initial group of writers.
Here's what a couple of members have said about the Cafe:
Diane Says...
"The biggest benefit of the Writer’s Cafe community is the
accountability. It keeps me focused on what I need to be working on. Even though I can list an array of writing projects for what I want to accomplish each week, when I begin a live writing session or even if I use the chatroom to post that I’m writing, I have to choose one item. And I have to focus on that one item for the allotted time."
Judy Says...
"[The biggest benefit is] being included and considered part of a writing community – whether I feel like it or not. Excellent gentle and yet powerful litmus test of; are you a writer or really want to be one? Encouragement comes from witnessing the struggles and triumphs of others. The variety of personalities and writing style along with [Ali’s] easy manner and clear and honest encouragement make it 'a home away from
home'."
We're now ready to welcome lots more members. :-)
As soon as you sign up, you can:
Introduce yourself in our "Welcome" space so that
other members can welcome you and get to know you.
Join our weekly check-ins, which I post each Monday so you can share (a) how your writing went during the previous week and (b) what you've got planned for the week ahead.
Ask questions or open up a discussion with other members if there's a particular writing issue on your
mind.
Pop into our Chatroom to see if anyone's around to chat live. Some members also use the Chatroom for a personal writing hour, posting what they'll be working on for the hour, then coming back once their hour is up to share how they got on.
We're currently tweaking our timings for our live writing hours, so now's a great time to
join and have a say on when those will take place.
There's a full 30 day money-back guarantee, so if you join Writers' Cafe and feel it's not a great fit for you, just let me know and I'll be very happy to refund you in full.
Bonus: 30 Minute FREE Writing Coaching
Session
I'm offering a free 30 minute writing coaching session to all new members who sign up before the end of Friday 4th October.
I absolutely love coaching writers ... and it's extra helpful to get to talk one-to-one with members of Writers' Cafe, as this helps me know how best the Cafe can support everyone.
For your coaching session, you can send up to 1,000 words of your writing in advance for us to discuss. Or if you prefer, we can just chat about where you're at
with your writing and what roadblocks you might be encountering.
My normal sessions are $125 / £100 for 45 minutes, so even if you just sign up to get the free coaching, you'll be getting great value for money. ;-)
P.S. I've got answers to questions about Writers' Cafe on the information page ... but if your question isn't covered
there, or you want more detail about something, just hit "reply" on this email and I'll get back to you ASAP.
