The National Press Club Journalism Institute started a writing group in April 2020 for people who want to support each other’s work.
The group meets Mondays on Zoom. The gatherings, from 11:30am-12:30pm ET, include a writing prompt, a discussion of writing challenges and successes, and tips and takeaways for building your skills.
You can come weekly or less often, whatever works best for you, but you must come at least monthly to remain in the group. This group has gained each other’s trust by showing up and staying, and everyone appreciates the safety and support the community provides.
The group serves nonfiction writers, whether you hope to turn a journal entry into a personal essay or you’re a newsroom journalist who wants to improve your work. All are welcome.
Please share your information below if you're interested in joining the group. Participants will receive a calendar invitation and the Zoom link. Questions? Contact Julie Moos at
