The Problem with Finding a Writers Group—and How to Solve It for Good

It’s amazing how much has to go right:

You have to find enough like-minded people serious about their writing
They must be willing to offer constructive feedback (and take it, too)
You want a widely published leader so the blind aren’t leading the blind
Then you have to travel far as far as necessary to find all this

No wonder it’s so hard to find nurturing writing environments…

They’re extremely rare.

I’ve been brainstorming with my team for a long time about how to solve this problem.

Sure, I’m still teaching writing here on my blog.

And yes, I’m still here to answer your questions and lend guidance.

But I want to provide something unique, something I enjoyed offering for years when I hosted conferences and taught writing all over the world.

Little satisfied me more than bringing to students and budding writers the expertise of the top authors and writing coaches on the planet.

Those were the days—when a writer like you could interact with mentors and a myriad of helpful training resources.

Where you could band together with others just like yourself—brothers and sisters who wouldn’t let you quit.

I’d love to bring back that same kind of community.

So I’m about to shake things up again.

Now that I’ve found a way to train writers 100% online, I can finally offer the mentoring I’ve always wanted to—and keep the cost ridiculously low.

For the past several months my team and I have been hard at work building something that will give you:

Access to the brightest minds in publishing
Personal coaching and feedback on your writing
Exclusive, top-quality training and live writing workshops
A place where you can connect and grow with other aspiring authors
We’re calling it The Jerry Jenkins Writers Guild.

It will be a community of writers committed to improving, encouraging one another to grow under the guidance of the top instructors in the field.

The Guild will be limited to members only, and you’ll have a 10-day window during which you can register.

After that, I’ll work closely with the exclusive Founding Members to hone your writing and make the Guild something great.

You may be learning to write, writing articles and short stories for magazines or online sites, or writing a nonfiction book or a novel. If you want to gain real confidence, overcome your fear of failure, and get your message into as many readers’ hands as possible, I aim to give you all the tools you need to do that.

Imagine the ultimate virtual writers group. People to keep you motivated, committed, and on track while I provide a level of resources and support you won’t find anywhere else.

My goal is to provide so many services you’ll wonder how my team and I can do it. But you’ll be so busy learning and growing and marketing your writing, you’ll hardly have time to think about it.

You can find all the details here—and I can’t wait to see what you think!

What do you find most challenging about finding the right writing community and training?
