The Daily Writers

Woman writing in journal.

Finally, a fun way to develop your writing routine! Having a real person waiting to read your writing provides the accountability no app or online course can give you.

“The Daily Writers has been the best thing I’ve done for my writing practice because it’s made me write consistently, and the prompts inspire different parts of the story I’m writing.”

— Aileen Kroon

Join writers just like you who need accountability and structure:

    • Receive 1 prompt/writing exercise daily.
    • Write for 10-15 minutes daily.
    • Send your writing to your partner–accountability!
    • 10-15 minutes of reading and commenting on your partner’s writing.
    • 1 writing partner every week.
    • 3 weeks.

How the Daily Writers helps you write every day:

Ideally, each of us would write every day. Very few of us do. It’s easy to skip a day. Who will know? And then a few days go by. A week. A month. Meanwhile, our ideas and stories never make it to the page.

The Daily Writers program holds you accountable for developing a daily writing habit. With a daily writing prompt and a new writing partner every week, you will no longer be alone as you face the blank page. Receive only encouragement from your writing partner—negativity will not be tolerated*—and respond to their writing. Spend 15 minutes writing and 5-15 minutes reading and commenting on your writing partner’s work.

*You can request constructive feedback.

Detailed description of how it works

    • On the Sunday before the session begins, you’ll receive the name and email address of your partner.
    • Every day at 12:01 a.m., an email with the prompt will arrive.
    • A prompt might be a word, a sentence, or even a photo designed to inspire you.
    • Use the prompt or write whatever you’d like.
    • Write for up to fifteen minutes.
    • No one is expecting a masterpiece.
    • Limit editing to typos and spelling.
    • Email your writing to your partner within 24 hours.
    • If you have to miss a day, just let your partner know.
    • Spend 5-15 minutes reading your partner’s writing and responding.
    • Keep it brief and positive.
    • Reply within 24 hours of receiving the email.
    • No experience commenting on others’ work is required.
    • The facilitators will be available for support.
    • More instructions are provided when you enroll.
