writing clubs

Prose peer circles

Writing clubs are groups where people meet regularly to share their work, give feedback, and discuss craft.

Members might critique each other's drafts, do writing exercises together, or simply provide accountability and encouragement.

Some focus on specific genres—romance, science fiction, poetry—while others welcome any form.
