Traditionally writers groups have been held in someone’s front room, the library, or even a pub garden. They are organised meetings where writers meet face to face to discuss their writing lives and writing problems. However, for a number of reasons, it may be difficult for some writers to meet on a regular basis, maybe they live as an expat abroad, or work or family commitments make it difficult. Developing an online group can be a little more difficult and take a bit of getting used to but creates a different format to gain valuable support.

Writing Community

Finding writers who want to join an online writing group might take a little longer than one that operates within a geographical area. Apart from the traditional formats of posting a card in the library or the post office, other sources will need to be accessed. Using existing contacts is the easiest way and asking them to spread the word. A short piece or an advert published in a writing magazine or writing newsletters with contact details will attract the attention of writers in a similar position. If the writing group is targeted at people living in different countries, it will be important to target the specific writing markets in that region to advertise the group.
