Insecure Writer's Support Group

It’s time for another group posting of the Insecure Writer’s Support Group! Time to release our fears to the world – or offer encouragement to those who are feeling neurotic. If you’d like to join us, click on the tab above and sign up. We post the first Wednesday of every month. I encourage everyone to visit at least a dozen new blogs and leave a comment. Your words might be the encouragement someone needs.

Our awesome co-hosts today are Eva Solar Melanie Schulz, Lisa-Buie Collard, and Stephen Tremp!

Last month we participated in the A to Z Challenge, posting daily writing inspiration. Thanks to those who stopped or followed us during the Challenge. And a very special thanks to the IWSG admins for going above and beyond last month - Lynda Young, Susan Gourley/Kelley, L. Diane Wolfe, Michelle Wallace, Joylene Nowell Butler and Joy Campbell.

We are switching to Mondays only for the next few months. Our goal is to bring you quality content every week from the admins and guests. We want this to be the best site online for writers and authors.

If you are new to this site or the IWSG group, we encourage you to download our free book, The Insecure Writer’s Support Group Guide to Publishing and Beyond.


If you have any questions or would like to see certain topics covered, please let us know. We are here to serve you!

IWSG Post Day and Just What is the IWSG?

It’s time for another group posting of the Insecure Writer’s Support Group! Time to release our fears to the world – or offer encouragement to those who are feeling neurotic. If you’d like to join us, click on the tab above and sign up. We post the first Wednesday of every month. I encourage everyone to visit at least a dozen new blogs and leave a comment. Your words might be the encouragement someone needs.

The awesome co-hosts for the May 7 posting of the IWSG are Mark Koopmans, Joylene Nowell Butler, Elsie, and Lisa Buie-Collard!

We just came off the A to Z Challenge. Some of you have been following along and some are new to this website. The IWSG is three things:

1 – A blogging support group - The first Wednesday of every month is the official post day. Members post their insecurities, frustrations, and concerns, and others stop by to offer encouragement and advice. Every member who actively participates and visits others benefits and becomes a blessing to the group.

2 – A database of information this site is filled with information. Topics include writing tips; publishers, agents, and queries; self-publishing; marketing; contests; publications; and services. We also post information to help writers every Monday with a guest post from a top person in the industry once a month.

3 – A Facebook group - The IWSG is now also on Facebook. Members can ask questions and get instant feedback. There are themes for certain days, including Motivational Monday, Wow it’s Wednesday, Fun Friday, and News & Promo Saturday. A thousand members strong, it’s a great way to connect, find answers, and spread news.

So there are several ways you can get involved – and ways we can serve you. As the IWSG continues to grow, we hope you are along for the ride.

What insecurity plagues you today? How can we help?
