Do you run an online community where writes regularly connect? As we wind down Office Hours, we want to point writers to these spaces.

Some examples we are inspired by:

Fictionistas - A collaborative community for fiction writers on Substack. https://fictionistas.substack.com/

Runners - Raziq Rauf hosts a monthly call for running writers.

https://lu.ma/runstack

Food & Drink - Leigh Olson and Dianne Jacob host a monthly call for food & drink writers.

https://lu.ma/5shqoevj

Sparkle on Substack* - Claire Venus offers a space to help you stay creative on Substack.

https://sparkleon.substack.com/

Substack Writers at Work* - Sarah Fay offers guidance for building a business on Substack.

I'm just starting out but taking a unique approach based on lessons from learning how to become a photographer. Turns out the mindset and process provides many lessons for pursuing and establishing greater wellbeing.

It has a lot to do with teaching people to look between elements vs looking at / for elements. Photographers practice looking between as a general rule for achieving greater outcomes.

I invite you to check it out.

I'm a retired cancer physician who writes about health, especially related to food, nutrition, and the environment, drawing on evidence-based science. Great idea to galvanize a community

Terrific idea, thanks for leading Nikko! My life's work sharing the sleep skills people need to thrive and have the best quality of life has led me here to substack, and I'd love to connect with other wellness writers.

HI Nikko am an herbalist I write about foraging wild plants and using them as food and medicine and about using herbs generally. I also do podcasts with other herbalist. My substack is called The Wild World with Heidi Merika. I'd love to join this group

I would be very interested in joining your group, but only if you think what I have to offer falls in line with your readers' interest. I would not exactly call what I write as wellness, so much as awareness. I write a substack called Navigating a Whackadoodle World. My posts are diverse, and eclectic. Every Sunday, I send out a reminder of that week's guidepost. During the week, I send posts about information I have confirmed and I believe will add value to my readers' lives. I guess the bottom line is this. I am interested in your substack community, but only if what I write is what you are looking for in your wellness community. I invite you to check out my website and articles to see if I am a good fit.
