Hi Jeanette, thanks for this amazing post! So insightful and honest, reminding me that where I place myself really matters, and I can reach out and ground in a supportive writing community. I just want to tell you to scroll through the post because it duplicated and Iโ€™m sure youโ€™ll want to edit that.

What a lovely, encouraging post! Where is the best place to find a writing circle do you think? I'm in the UK. Thank you!

Hi Harriett

You could search online at Meetups if you want one In Real Life. But if you're looking for people writing online ( like Substack), I am planning to offer one in the new year. So DM me if you're interested and we can talk.

Any tips on how to find a writing group? I'm in Coffs Harbour

Hi Melissa

Good to meet you here. I've found Substack a wonderful place for meeting fellow writers with similar goals. I'll also run more circles next year with my tribe so DM me if you'd like to be kept in the loop. . .

Yes, please keep me in the loop Jeanette, thank you ๐Ÿ˜Š

This really resonates with me - thank you so much for sharing (and thank you so much, Substack, for showing me Jeanette's words in my feed!)

Thanks for this inspiration! Iโ€™ve never thought about joining a writing group but youโ€™ve made me think about it. Iโ€™ve recently started writing and itโ€™s not always easy to keep up and be honest!

Jeanette Martin's avatar

I hope you go for it, Kirsten. Having other eyes on your work and supporting you on the path is golden.
