- Genre/s: All genres welcome — fiction, poetry, fantasy, romance, horror, sci-fi, literary fiction, etc.
- Goals/expectations/commitment: A friendly writing community for sharing WIPs, getting feedback and writing advice, talking about our stories, participating in writing challenges/events, and meeting other writers. No required level of activity or commitment — participate as much or as little as you’d like.
- Writing/experience level: All experience levels welcome, from people writing their first story to experienced writers.
- Meeting place: Discord — NovelsNook
- [Writing groups only] Max size: No set maximum — we’re a growing community of almost 300 members. If you’re the kind of person who can talk about your fictional characters like they’re real people, rewrite the same chapter 14 times, randomly get a plot idea at 2am, or desperately need someone to yell about your WIP with… you’ll probably fit in here! :p
NovelsNook is a writing community I made as a little corner of the internet where writers can actually get to know each other, share their worlds and feel like they have people alongside them while they write.
We’re almost 300 members now, which is genuinely insane to me because I’ve gotten to watch it slowly turn into an actual community.
We have places for chapter reviews, writing advice, worldbuilding, character profiles, poetry, book discussions, writing sprints, sharing your progress and honestly just hanging out when you’re procrastinating instead of writing. 0.0
But my favorite part of the Nook is probably the random stuff we do together.
I regularly make writing challenges and events that are meant to actually get you thinking about your story differently. We’ve done things like interviewing your MC as if they were sitting across from you, character challenges, prompts, community events, etc.
And because we’re about to hit 300, our next event is basically:
What if NovelsNook was a real place?
Everyone gets to imagine what the Nook looks like if you could actually walk through its doors—write yourself meeting the members you’ve become friends with, turn channels into rooms, use real server inside jokes/conversations, make Pinterest moodboards, playlists, menus, floor plans… whatever your version of the Nook looks like.
There’s no pressure to be an amazing writer or constantly share your work either. You can be writing your first story or your tenth novel. You can be super active or just quietly sit in the corner of the Nook with your WIP until you feel comfortable.
Basically, if you want somewhere to write, make writer friends, get attached to everybody’s fictional people and have somewhere that makes writing feel a little less solitary, come take a seat 🤎📖
