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:
