WHAT MAKES WRITERS’ HQ
SO AWESOME?

Everything you need

The incredible Writers' HQ community offers an inclusive, welcoming, supportive, step-by-step, hand-holding environment, away from tiresome literary snobbery and grammar pedantry, for the many writers out there who feel as though they don’t fit.

We're writers too

We know what you’re dealing with – the frustrations, the joys, the heartache, the endless urge to procrastinate, the crying hysteria at Tumblr memes about punctuation. And we’re working on our stories right alongside you.

Support is our M.O.

With thousands of WHQers all over the world, you can swap work for critique, swoon and flail and be caught by other writers who Just Get It, 24 hours a day. Oh yeah. We put the mm in community, y’all.

We love stories

It's not just that we love them. It's that we understand that they are important. Fom sci fi to lit fic, from trashy beach reads to obscure experimental weirdness, from police procedurals to high fantasy. All stories are needed and valued and just shut up and give them to us, ok? We demand MOAR STORIES.

Doodle of clouds and birds

No nonsense

Writers’ HQ is about doing the work. We don’t waft around waiting for the muse or talking endlessly about writing without actually doing any. We show up at our desk time and time again and get. shit. done. (I mean, we also dick around making tea and eating biscuits, but you get the idea).

We love you

Running Writers’ HQ is a legit dream come true and we freakin’ adore all the people who make it so awesome (that’s you guys). We’re here for you, we’re rooting for you, we live and breathe this accidental behemoth. So come on in, the water’s fine.

support for every stage of your writing

A huge library of over 20 online courses so you can learn how to plot your novel, master the art of the short story, hone your editing skills, improve your writing habit, increase productivity, and send your stories into the world
