Finding Your Community

Season 1, Ep. 2

How do you find your community? In this episode, Helen and Chrissie talk about how they found their people in the early days of their writing careers, the places and connections that helped them feel less alone, the power of a mentor, and why having support around you is so important when you're finding your feet as a writer.

Writing might be a solo job, but you don’t have to do it alone.
