Hi Awesome Author,
Ever feel like you’re shouting into the void when you share your writing online? You’re not alone. Writing can feel isolating, but the truth is, the best stories (and the most successful authors) rarely go it alone. Building a supportive writing community online isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s a game-changer for your creativity, motivation, and even your book sales. 📚🤝
When I first started out, I thought writing was a solo sport. But looking back, every breakthrough I’ve had—whether it was finishing a tough draft or launching a new book—came with the support and encouragement of fellow writers. So, how do you find your writing tribe and nurture those connections in the digital world?
- Show Up Authentically: Join groups or forums that align with your genre or interests. Don’t just lurk—introduce yourself, share your journey, and celebrate others’ wins. The more genuine you are, the more likely you’ll attract real connections.
- Give Before You Get: Offer feedback, answer questions, or simply cheer someone on. Support is a two-way street, and the more you give, the more you’ll receive in return.
- Ask for Help (and Be Specific): Whether you need beta readers or advice on marketing, don’t be afraid to ask. Just be clear about what you’re looking for—people love to help when they know how.
- Stay Consistent: Pop in regularly, even if it’s just to say hi or share a quick update. Consistency builds trust and keeps you connected, even when life gets busy.
- Celebrate Progress—Big or Small: Every milestone matters, from finishing a chapter to hitting publish. Share your victories and encourage others to do the same.
If you’re looking for a place to start, I created Awesome Author Academy as a free, welcoming hub for writers like you. Whether you’re looking for feedback, motivation, or just a place to swap ideas, you’ll find a supportive group of authors who get it. And if you want even more encouragement and advice, our private Facebook group is always buzzing with helpful conversations.
