Women Who Write’s mission is to give women and non-binary writers the time and space to write. We know that writing in the company of others generates energy, inspiration and motivation – everything needed to put words on the page.

We also know it can be challenging to maintain a consistent writing practice, which is what we hope to create through our regular and routine events.

We host our retreats and writing sessions to give your writing the time and space it needs. There’s no pressure to share your work, hit a word count, use a laptop, or be published or professional. We welcome all writers, at all stages of their practice.
