The Writer's Room is a welcoming online writing community for self-identifying women writers over 40. Come for focused writing time, accountability, and companionship.
Our members' Zoom room is available throughout the day. Hosted weekday sessions run Monday–Friday, 11 a.m.–2 p.m. Pacific, with additional hosted sessions on weekend mornings.
Zoom registration is reviewed manually to help keep our community safe.
Founded in The Woolfer in 2020, we later moved to Hello Revel and became an independent community of Woolfers, Revelers, and friends in February 2023. We are staunchly and stridently inclusive.
Support Women!
We encourage everyone to visit The 24 Hour Room by Elizabeth Gaffney and other women-owned, women-led writing communities, such as SheWrites, WOC Writers, Rewrite London, Sisters in Crime, Pen + Brush, Women's Fiction Writers Assoc., Feminist Book Society, and more.
Buy Independent!
Keep bookstores alive. You can buy direct from most bookstores, either via websites or Bookshop.org.
A Message for the Gents.
To our aspiring self-identifying male writers, we applaud and salute you. Writing is a daunting and often lonesome endeavor. We wish you success and a supportive cohort to share your journey.
“[T]rying to live without friends is like milking a bear to get cream for your morning coffee. It is a whole lot of trouble, and then not worth much after you get it.”
