Are you interested in launching or leading a writing group?
Launching Early Fall 2026
Speak Up writing groups are for everyone. They are good for public spaces with strangers, at homeless shelters, in missional communities, in business, and around the table with family or friends.
If you want to start a writing group in your community or space, join us for the first Writing Groups Launch Cohort.
We’ll meet weekly via Zoom for 4-6 weeks, starting in September 2026. More details to come.

Read Work from the Writing Groups on Substack
Week after week, a motley collection of writers get together and write and read from shared prompts.
- Write about a pet peeve.
- Write about your day from the perspective of your shoes.
- Write a thank you letter to something or someone unexpected.
- And so on…
What spills out is often pure gold.
