Whether you write as a hobby or you want to get published, the only way to hone your voice and share your wisdom is by writing, writing, writing and being open to feedback to make your words stronger, more compelling, more powerful.
The Writers Community is a place for writers to hone their skills, finesse their voice, and build community with other writers who can offer meaningful and frequent feedback and support. Writing in community with others is the best way to strengthen your voice and realize that it has an important and needed place.
Created in 2020 by Lynne Golodner, The Writers Community is for writers who take their words seriously, and desire regular accountability to keep them writing. The 2024 program is open to a limited number of writers who commit to a 12-month program with twice-monthly Zoom calls for two hours at a time. Every participant has a regular opportunity to share their writing and receive feedback from peers at the same level of writing. Participants receive a monthly lesson, weekly writing prompts, and a private WhatsApp group to chat between live calls. One live call is devoted to workshopping, critique and feedback, and the other live call is devoted to writing lessons and writing in real time, in community. All writers receive feedback on their work monthly from four other people.
This is for writers who…
- Want support and motivation
- Feel stuck often and want to free themselves to write
- Are working on a book, short stories, creative nonfiction essays or collection of writings & need support and accountability to get it done
- Have longed to define themselves as a “writer” but didn’t believe they could
- Want to be published
- Believe their voice matters
You will receive personal attention from renowned author and writing coach Lynne Golodner, who was told writing was a nice hobby but not something to focus her life around. (She did it anyway!)
The Writers Community includes…
- Two monthly two-hour live calls that meet on Wednesdays from 4-6 p.m. ET
- Weekly writing prompts focused on a monthly theme
- Peer feedback in intimate critique groups
- A monthly writing lesson with readings
- The opportunity to submit your writing for review on a monthly basis
- All writers receive two 30-minute 1:1 coaching calls with Lynne Golodner
Fees: $99/mo (10% discount if you pay in full up front)
(**Writers who want feedback on their submissions from Lynne Golodner pay an additional $57 per month.**)
