Welcome to #WriteAndWine

#WriteAndWine is an online writing and mental health community created by Lex Vranick.

Originally called #NaNoWinO, the chat began on November 2, 2018 to connect writers participating in National Novel Writing Month and provide a space to talk, vent, and escape from the hectic flurry of writing during the event. We now hold weekly Twitter chats every Friday at 8:30pm Eastern. In 2020, we added monthly Zoom write-ins, a monthly newsletter, and a blog.

If you would like to learn more about the community, please check out this fun interview from the 2019 Winterviews series on writing communities! If you would like writing prompts, book recommendations, and community updates please sign up for our monthly newsletter!

Hear what our community members have to say about #WriteAndWine…

“Most of my friends come from this chat! It’s fun and the people are so supportive and kind!”

“I've made some incredible friends through #WriteAndWine and I truly believe it's one of the most tight knit writing groups on Twitter. You'll never get loaded in the fray here. Your perspective will always be valuable!”

“It feels more personal than other Twitter writing groups. People interact more, they feel more comfortable with each other, and the answers seem to connect more with the other participants.

 “It's a good relaxing chat at the right time on a Friday night, after a long week. And usually with good questions, too - the kind that spur discussion.”

“It's not just about writing. The chat is about the community, our mental health, and writing.”

Join #WriteAndWine at 8:30pm Eastern on Friday nights! Visit @lexvranick for chat schedules and updates.
