Even when we love to write, it can be really hard to sit down and do it. Without structure, inspiration, and community, it becomes the thing that waits, while other priorities fill our days.

Fireside Community for Writers is an online gathering place where writers find their way back to their pages and keyboards, over and over. We kindle our curiosity, light up our creative dreams, and move our words and stories out into the world, sentence by sentence.

With live events, weekly co-writing sessions, a resource library, and an active community notice board, writers have a place to find each other, and find themselves.

Fireside is run by Firefly Creative Writing, a team of nine writers and creatives based in Southern Ontario, building community around writing for over 20 years.

Welcome to our living room. You’re in good company here.
