Let's be friends!
Writing Friends Society:
A place for all of us to grow as writers.
​
Like you, we're writers. We know at times that the writing process can be a lonely and wandering endeavor. The Writing Friends Society came about because we know the value of friendship and support during the writing process.
​
Between the three of us we've attended and helped run over 30 writing conferences. We're bringing what we've learned from our experiences to you.
​
Your words and stories matter. We're by your side, hoping for your success.
WRITING FRIENDS SOCIETY MANTRA
We are writers.
The characters in our minds are as real as the people in our lives.
We cheer for those people and for their characters.
Each writer's individual voice matters.
The work of other writers elevates my own.
There is a need for all of our words and all of our stories.
We rise together as a writing community when we lift and support one another.
