Speaker Series

75 minutes every month with your favorite authors and industry experts.

We’ve been told it’s worth the cost of membership alone.

Accountability Workshops: Speaker Series

Beyond the Group Meetings and MEntorship Focused on your own Writing — we Also Offer a Monthly SPeaker Series on zoom

Every month, we invite all your favorite writers to come talk to us about their process. It’s a casual Q&A about their work and how they make it happen. If you have ever wanted to pick your favorite writer’s brain for 75 minutes, this is the best way to do it. We also ask agents, editors, and Scrivener experts to join us to share their expertise.

We pay our speakers for their time, and we take requests from members. Only two writers have declined our invitation so far.
