Tracy Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 My 13yo son is looking for a writing club. We don't have anything like this in our local area. Does anyone know of an online group? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertflower Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 I don't know if it is what you are looking for, but how about nanowrimo.org? It's a nonprofit organization and has a competition in november. I'm sure there's a forum there where others can talk about writing.

He is hoping for something where he can actually share his work with other kids and get to know them. Something more social. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrichstad Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 You might check Outschool to see if anything fits what you're looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gil Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Due to Covid a ton of groups now meet online so even if there isn't anything local why don't you look on MeetUp or Facebook for a virtual meet up of young writers? Also, contact your local library and libraries in your time-zone. Again, a ton of groups have been moved online so if they used to have a Kids Writing Club or anything like it, then it might now be online. There are websites that people publish their original stories on such as WattPad FictionPress ArchiveOfOurOwn (AO3) FanFiction People might review their work. You cant control for the age of participants, but it's naturally self-selecting based on interests. Someone's only reading your Anthropomorphic Animal Wizard story because they're interested in Anthropomorphic Animals too and like Wizards. Novice Writers can also look at ScibophileWritersrelief (Writing Groups by States) for articles, support groups and resources to write more. I'm super picky about my kids being online so I recommend that you create the accounts through your own email so that you can access the accounts that your son uses on these sites just so that you can stay in the loop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
