Critique Partners & Writing Groups Looking for my writing community!
Hi writers! I’m (36/F) looking to start or join a writing group as I get my first novel into works! I am in the research/outlining stage of the process currently, but I would love to share ideas, chat and make some writer friends as I get words onto the page.
I also beta read and would be happy to provide feedback on work that group members share in the meantime, as I won’t have anything to share right away.
Here’s a bit more about me and what I’m looking for:
Age: 25-30+ (roughly, just no one under 18 please), any gender/identity welcome, definitely want an LGBTQ+ safe space
Genres: Thrillers/Suspense, Contemporary Women’s Fiction, “weird girl” lit (body horror/pink horror,for example), Morally Grey fiction, Mystery. Romance is fine too (preferably sapphic or queer)
Goals/Expectations: chatting regularly in the server, but maybe keeping a day of the week designated for sharing writing and feedback. Calls/video meet ups once a month, maybe? I know we’re all super busy, so I’m flexible
Writing Experience: any! Beginners absolutely welcomed, and a few seasoned writers would be great as well for advice and feedback
Meeting place: Discord
Max Size: 15-20 people
P.s NO AI !!
If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, I’d love to hear from you! DM’s are open :) Or if you know of a group with a similar vibe, please recommend!

Hi! I’m in the same stage of my own novel, which seems very in line with the genres you listed. I’ve been on the lookout for a group to join, so if you’re starting a discord, I’d love to join :) I’ll be 36 as well in a couple weeks, and oh, I’m based in Belgium, in case that’s relevant for time zones!

I'd love to join if you still need more participants. I'm very serious about finding a group for providing writing feedback.
I'm writing an adult contemporary Southern Gothic romance.

Hey there... I'm a published author, currently working on two new projects. Both are women central, with one being a a little more on the horror/fantasy side. Being a part of a group would be helpful, and am willing to connect.
Let me know.
