What we're about
Happy Writing exists to celebrate the unique power of all authors, writers, and word creators. We uplift, support, educate, and empower global communities through peer mentorship and peer-curated events.
Happy Writing Co helps build better stories and stronger authorpreneurs through guided classes, networking, camaraderie, and group writing.
We offer a mixture of writing sessions, reading/critiquing events, and classes.
Events take place online, in coffee shops, on train trips, during historical walks, in museums, and we're always open to anything new our members suggest!
Our meetings are open to writers of all genres. Come work on your novels, blogs, short stories, memoirs, PhD thesis, or copy for your website.
We have five standing meetings per week. Other social events and inspiration trips will be random (and full of writerly fun).
Follow us on social media for daily author challenges and networking opportunities with authors from around the world:

Upcoming events (4+)
We are so excited to announce that our in-person write-in is coming back! We've now partnered with Lost Weekend as our official home for all things face to face.
We will meet every Monday starting at 9 a.m. for a productivity session. This is not a guided writing session or workshop, but independent co-working on your projects just begging to be written.
You'll be able to find Happy Writing Co at the RSVP section on the stage/front windows.
Here's how the write in works:
9 am - Doors open, take seats, chat and get situated. Introduce yourself to your fellow writers, talk about your projects, celebrate being back in person, etc!
9:20 - First session begins. We will write for 60 minutes.
10:20 - Break for refills, bathroom, and to chat about the success of session onr.
10:30 - Session two: second 60 minutes begins
11:30 - Official Happy Writing session ends.
You are welcome to stay on afterwards, write as long as you want in the café. We're here for the long haul with Lost Weekend and growing in mutual support!
We have a total seating area for 14 people. If you're unable to make the event, please cancel your reservation to allow someone from the wait list in to the event. You are welcome to do a drop in for overflow seating, but priority will be given to those on the RSVP list. If we keep growing, we will expand our RSVP request.
