“The Weeknight Writers Discord has been a tremendous help over the years. I’ve met great people, gotten lots of writing help and encouragement, and been able to stay connected to other writers.” ~ Saffron Richter

Sustaining Memberships aren’t just about what you get, either—they’re about helping us build Weeknight Writers programs around our three core values:
- Community: Above all else, we want to help writers connect with other writers. We create spaces where folks can brainstorm together, learn together, cheer each other on, and commiserate about the struggles involved in writing and publishing.
- Inclusivity: We work hard to make our events and community spaces safe and welcoming for folks of all marginalized backgrounds. We do this by inviting marginalized folks to participate in our events and moderating our communities to keep them safe.
- Accessibility: We keep our events virtual and affordable (or even free) so the most marginalized among us can access them. We’ve also partnered with Renaissance Press to provide live captions on all Zoom panels.
Building those spaces is far more important to us than making money, but we need to pay our bills and put food on our tables—which means we need to get paid for the hours we put into our events.
The Sustaining Membership Program allows us to pay ourselves for the time we use to host our weekly Bluesky chat for free, run a free-first virtual conference every year, manage free #FirstDraftFall content, and publish our panel videos to YouTube for free instead of putting them behind a paywall. And these are just the things we’re doing now; as our Sustaining Membership Program grows, we hope to provide even more free and low-cost support for writers.
Join our Sustaining Membership Program now to help us achieve this goal!
What our members have to say
“I’ve gotten more of my personal projects done and had better ready feedback and ideas from a month with these folks than years of trying to manage on my own.” ~ Ehren Keen, https://bsky.app/profile/ehrenkeen.bsky.social
“I recently participated in a valuable workshop on book blurbs where I received very specific and usable feedback. On top of occasional workshops and webinars, Weeknight Writers Discord provides me with much-needed daily accountability and emotional support (writing’s hard!).” ~ AH Davison, https://bsky.app/profile/ahdavison.bsky.social
“I’m happy that the Weeknight Writers Discord gave me a writing community. I was able to keep myself accountable and I’m thankful for everyone’s support. I also love that we all ended up being neurodivergent and fans of tabletop gaming.” ~ Sunny Monique
“It’s been a rough couple of years on social media. Algorithms often either push irrelevant content, or you fail to get any feeling of engagement. What I love about WW on Discord is the sense of connection and community with other writers. You’re not going to push mad sales. But you are going to be in a group of peers cheering each other on.” ~ Meike Torkelson, https://meiketorkelson.github.io/
“Writers’ groups where you have regular interaction and participation are hard to find. Weeknight Writers fills that niche admirably and is more than worth the investment.” ~ DC Hauser
