Elevate Your Writing Skills: Join Our Slack Community
Written on
Chapter 1: Introduction to the Workshop
In the realm of writing, finding affordable and effective resources can be challenging. That's why I decided to establish a new Slack workspace designed specifically for writers, by writers.

This workspace features dedicated channels for fiction, nonfiction, and poetry, along with helpful resources for crafting an author bio and identifying your target audience.
Section 1.1: The Importance of Constructive Feedback
Feedback is crucial in any workshop setting. However, understanding the right and wrong ways to give and receive feedback can significantly impact your growth as a writer.
Subsection 1.1.1: Understanding Value
The benefits of this workshop far exceed the nominal fee I charge, as I am committed to making valuable resources accessible without exorbitant costs. My goal is to support you in becoming the best writer possible.
The payment structure will be managed through Gumroad, while our interactions will take place on Slack, including a generous 30-day free trial for new members!
Section 1.2: Join the Community
Elevate Your Writing Workshop is a collaborative Slack community focused on fostering connections among writers. I aim to cultivate a close-knit environment for sharing and receiving feedback.
I encourage everyone to take advantage of the trial period to determine if this community is the right fit for you before committing financially.
I will personally review each submission (preferably in a shareable Google Doc, though any format is welcome) and encourage fellow writers to reciprocate with feedback as well.
Why am I qualified to facilitate this? I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Creative Writing and English, specializing in fiction, which has provided me with invaluable workshopping experience alongside peers and bestselling authors. Currently, I am pursuing my Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing, focusing on teaching writing online. This workspace is as beneficial to me as it will be to you.
Chapter 2: Workshop Components
What can you expect from this workshop?
I have established channels for fiction, nonfiction, and poetry, as well as areas dedicated to crafting your author bio, pinpointing your target audience, and sharing insightful books or articles on writing.
We are here to exchange knowledge and resources. I will spend time today enhancing our resources to ensure that you receive excellent value upon joining. I look forward to welcoming you!
