A peer-community for writers seeking craft, feedback and connection.
The Loft Writing Network is a free-to-join community offered by The Loft Literary Center where writers gather across genres to receive peer feedback, engage in accountability sessions and participate in live discussions on craft, writing life and publication pathways.
With member-led writing groups, live “drop-in” rooms, mentorship opportunities and curated prompts, this network supports both new and experienced writers in building discipline, insight and community. Whether you’re drafting your first poem, revising a novel, or preparing to submit, the Network provides structure, voice and connection.
Weekly drop-ins, writing sprints and peer-led discussions curated by The Loft Writing Network.
Join moderated groups where members exchange work-in-progress, give constructive critique and share progress.
Access prompts, workshops, readings and guides designed to inspire and support every stage of the writing lifecycle.
