Writers are generally people who write in solitude, but they are not really alone. When it comes to writing, there are many, many supportive events, groups, and professionals to assist them, including writer retreats, author associations, and book shepherds. There’s also a ton of help available from online writing communities.
What is an online writing community, why do they matter, and where does one find them?
An online writing community is a place where writers can discuss the art and challenges of writing with their peers. It is of benefit, not only to your writing but to your headspace. Luckily, there are plenty of good writing communities out there. Here are some to look at:
