Writing is solitary endeavor— or at least, that's what they say. But here's the deal: it doesn't have to be.

Tolkien and C.S. Lewis had the Inklings; Virginia Woolf had The Bloomsbury Group; Hemingway had smoky Paris cafés; the Beats had midnight rendezvous. Great writers need great people. That's why we started ATX Writing Club.

Back in January 2024, we were fed up with the lack of real writing communities around Austin—and decided the virtual thing just wasn't gonna cut it. Real community, we figured, happens in real life. Eye contact, and inside jokes. That’s what we were looking for. That’s what we were going to create.

Now, dozens of events and 1,200 members later, it's safe to say we hit a nerve.

Or maybe a vein.

Something vital, anyway.

We're not here to lecture or posture— this isn't a top-down, "listen and nod" kind of group. This club is proudly reciprocal: everyone learns, everyone teaches, everyone grows.

And that’s because we believe in community first, always. We’re elevating the voices already here, right here, in Austin—the burgeoning heart of America's literary and intellectual renaissance.

Curious?

Join one of our monthly open sessions—no fuss, no barriers. You'll find traditionally published authors rubbing elbows with folks who've never shared a single sentence aloud. Everyone's welcome.

If you decide you want to dive deeper, we've got more intimate gatherings, tailored especially for those serious about elevating their craft.
