In 2026, I launched a monthly generative writing group called Kidlit ALL/Write. We have grown to more than 100 members. We meet on Zoom each month to write in community for 30-40 minutes then open the floor for volunteer readers, followed by Q&A. The vibe of ALL/Write (as in, we all write together) is creative, dynamic, fun, and supportive. The group includes members at all levels, from published authors to new writers.
Writing can be a lonely business. This group is designed to serve as a safe and supportive writing community, where everyone speaks the same kidlit language. In addition to our monthly meetups, we have an active SLACK channel, where we discuss craft, make book recommendations, talk about our manuscripts, and provide support. I often respond to questions about craft and/or publishing on SLACK.

I believe strongly that all writers should have the opportunity to hone their craft, even if they don't have the resources to pursue an MFA, travel to conferences, or register for workshops.
Membership is free.
