Imagine a place where you can connect with other dedicated writers. Where you can win prizes like free query feedback from top agents. Subscriptions to places like Scrivener, books from your favorite authors, and even do your opening pages critiqued by authors in the genre.

online writing sprints, agent pitch events, one on one meetings with me, writing cohorts, and even some possible, and even possible author mentorships. The sky's the limit here. Plus if you're one of the select founding members, you're going to get to shape this community into what you need most.
