Insecure Writer’s Support Group is a haven for insecure writers of all kinds.
Join this encouraging community that aims to uplift writers at every stage of the game. Writers can share and encourage other writers here. Writers can express doubts and concerns without fear of appearing foolish or weak. Those who have been through the fire can offer assistance and guidance. It is a wonderful group to be in especially if you are feeling insecure or just lacking encouragement.
How it began
Alex J. Cavanaugh, the founder, noticed a lot of blog posts from writers mentioning their doubts, concerns, and lack of confidence. He also saw the positive replies they received and realized that the writing community offered an abundance of support. Writers want to see other writers succeed, which is how he came up with the Insecure Writer’s Support Group. This group would act as a form of therapy, letting writers post about situations where they need encouragement, or to offer words of encouragement to others if they have experience.
