Welcome to Women Who Write Edinburgh! Our mission is to give women and NB writers the time, space and support they need to write.

We interpret the word 'writer' broadly. You might write fiction or non-fiction, novels or short stories, scripts or poems, blogs or newsletters, theses, love letters, journal entries or restaurant reviews. It doesn't matter. If you write, you're welcome to join us.

We host free and paid events, including biweekly writing sprints, day retreats by the beach, early morning writing sessions with coffee and late-night writing with cocktails, critique sessions and literary-themed trips in and around Scotland.

We also recognise that other writers face significant hurdles to writing in community, including older persons, persons with disabilities, parents and guardians, those from ethnic minorities and those who identify as LGBTI+. Inclusion lies at the heart of what we do: Our goal is to create safe and accessible events for writers. We are committed to fostering our diverse membership, and we welcome all feedback to ensure we meet the needs of anyone looking to be a part of our community.
