Fireside

Structure, community and inspiration
for people who want to write.

Welcome to our living room.

Here’s something we know about people who love to write: Even when we crave it, it’s really hard to sit down and do it.

It doesn’t matter how inspired and hardworking we are — without structure, community, and inspiration, we all get distracted, resistant, and disconnected. We wander away and forget how good it feels.

Fireside Community for Writers is an online membership program for anyone who longs for a regular space to keep coming back to their inner fire, over and over. Every month we’ll provide a steady supply of resources, gatherings, and points of connection for people who love to write, want to write, and struggle to write.

You’re in good company here.


Sign-up is open May 5-15, 2026.

We’ll open registration three times a year, followed by a big welcome orientation session. If you decide not to join us in May, our next opening will be in September. Once you sign up, you can cancel anytime. Here are our full financial policies.

If you can’t afford this program, reach out and we’ll lower the price, no questions asked.

Community Level

$34/month or $345/year

This level is intended for anyone who wants to dive in and write in community.

  • A live monthly “Writing Reset Session.” If you do no other writing this month, come to this and we’ll get you on track. We’ll clock our wins, write up a storm, and set goals for the month ahead.

  • 2-3 hour-long co-working sessions each week — to gather, write quietly, and draw on the power of collective focus.

  • Themed writing sessions and special events scattered through each month to keep the new ideas flowing. These are at a variety of times to fit lots of schedules, and are recorded if you can’t make it.

  • A resource library full of tools to keep the writing moving at your own pace.

  • Annual events like a writing marathon day in the fall and a “Push Weekend” in the winter.

  • A community notice board to access and connect to a generous community of writers.

  • Early bird access and a discount for small group workshops, as well as “rush seats” — half-price spots in any small group workshops if they aren’t full 14 days before they start.

Benefactor Level

$84/month or $845/year

This is intended for folks who have more income than they immediately require — who might own property, have savings and disposable income — and want to support our accessibility goals, while getting some extra personalized support on writing.

  • Everything from the community level.

  • A one-hour coaching session with a Firefly writing coach of your choice, every Fireside season (unlocked after every 4 months of membership).

  • Knowing you’re helping out our team and community, because 10% of all benefactor fees go directly to our Firefly financial aid program.

  • A no-pressure invite annually to join a cozy and casual “board meeting” with us, to hear how our year went, and have a say in what next year might look like.
