Hello! To make all of our lives easier, I’ll be posting all of the how-to guides and links to freebies on this page.

Meeting Info

We meet every fourth Sunday of the month at 1 PM PT over Zoom. It’s 40 minutes long, since I a’int paying for Zoom lol. People are free to go to as many or as few meetings as they need, or at any point in their journey as writers!

Upcoming meetings include: August 23, September 27, October 25, November 22, December 27, and so on!

This is suitable for writers of fiction, poetry, nonfiction, individual pieces or whole collections. You can be submitting to websites, journals, publishers, or even agents! No matter your goals or how much (or how little!) you’ve published, you’re welcome here 🙂

The meeting is end-to-end encrypted, not recorded, and not fed into AI tools. The waiting room is set up, so no AI note takers or third-party recorders will be let in. Also, the ability to “call in” to the meeting is disabled, so you’ll need to use either the Zoom app or run it in a modern web browser.

You don’t need to turn on your camera, or even microphone, if you don’t want to! And anyone being a jerk can and will be muted or removed from the meeting. And don’t join if you’re driving or I will kick you.
