On Writing

Writing – wether prose or poetry, fiction or non-fiction – is a learning process.
In the sections I’ll share information on writing communities I find usefull and enjoy being part of.
I’ll also share (the many) pitfalls I encountered, and tips and tricks that helped me out.

Communities & Resources

WriteMentor
The only paid writing community I’ve joined is WriteMentor. Originally focused on children's fiction, it has since expanded to include adult writing. The WriteMentor Hub offers a thriving community of writers alongside a variety of courses. Additionally, members can access live Zoom events, groups specific to the age range they’re writing for, daily activities, celebrations, and writing sprints. There’s also the monthly PitchHero, where writers pitch to an agent, and the continuous PeerPitch group, where peers provide feedback on pitches. Annual competitions include the Novel and Picture Book Awards and the Idea Idol Competition. WriteMentor also hosts a Neurodivergent Writing Chat, an invitation-only space for ND writers.

Beyond The Spectrum
Beyond The Spectrum is a writing community for neurodivergent writers of any genre, led by professional autistic writers. The groups are diverse and flexible – participants can join from anywhere, with no pressure to talk, have their camera on, or even write when they don’t feel up to it. There are groups for adults as well as young people. Beyond The Spectrum aims to help writers gain confidence in both their experience of autism and their writing skills, build a strong community, and have fun! Best of all, these groups are completely free to join. If you’d like to learn more, visit: Beyond The Spectrum
