Writing a book is hard enough. You shouldn't have to do the whole thing alone.

Feral Writing Society is a community for fantasy, romantasy, and romance writers who want to find their people, build momentum, and actually finish their books. It was created by a writer who wanted exactly that: people to write alongside, talk through a stubborn scene with, ask whether a sentence actually hits, debate tropes, swap feedback, and generally take fictional people far too seriously.

Inside FWS, you'll find live co-writing sessions, writing sprints and challenges, critique and reader spaces, book clubs, conversations about everything from writing craft and publishing to marketing, social media, author websites, and building a career around your writing. We also bring in authors, editors, publishing professionals, and other experts for guest masterclasses, with recordings and resources available whenever you need them.

Whether you're writing your very first book or your tenth, staring down chapter one, deep in revisions, querying, publishing, or starting all over again, there's room for you here. FWS is somewhere to show up, keep going, ask for help when you need it, and have people around who understand what you're trying to do and genuinely care about your writing.

We take writing seriously — not ourselves.
