Learn the stuff you always wanted to know about writing (like how to study and steal tricks from your favorite writers and how to create a writing life that works for you) in a virtual community led by Ariana Brown.
We’re a small group of LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, writers of color seeking support and answers to our most pressing questions about writing. This is a monthly membership you can cancel at any time.
Join us for as low as $3 per month! But you’ll want to sign up for the higher tiers to access free monthly writing workshops, live community chats, co-writing sessions, and more.
Sneak a peek at what you’ll get…
-
Detailed creative writing prompts + original writing samples to jumpstart your creativity.
-
Live monthly generative workshops + archive of workshop recordings for your convenience.
-
Advice and reflections from the logistics/business side of writing, including blogs and monthly live chats.
Who will benefit most from Ariana’s Digital Writing Community?
Writers who struggle to call themselves “writers”
Writers who’ve been told to “study their craft” but have never been taught how to do so
Writers who feel excluded from traditional literary spaces
Writers with practical questions about the logistics of being a writer
Writers who can’t seem to find the time to work on creative writing projects
Writers seeking accountability and a values-aligned supportive community
Writers who enjoy poetry but are open to writing and studying other genres
Writers looking for a low-stakes, slow-spaced alternative to an MFA program
Writers interested in prioritizing PROCESS over PRODUCT
Who is this not for?
Writers with zero interest in poetry. Ariana’s creative writing pedagogy is inclusive of all genres, but has a strong emphasis on studying poetry. She believes “poetry is the genre all other genres go to experiment” and views poetry as foundational to a well-rounded creative writing practice.
This community focuses primarily on poetry, fiction, and some creative nonfiction. Writers who focus on picture books and young children’s literature (middle grade or below) may not feel their needs are being met.
Writers seeking step-by-step manuscript guidance. This is a generative, slow-paced learning environment for writers to sharpen their communal study skills, not a manuscript coaching program.
