Frequently Asked Questions

I wouldn’t call myself a writer. Is this for me?

Yes! You don’t need any prior knowledge or have prepared anything to join a Freewrite session. You’ll do all of your writing within the session.

I’m an experienced writer. Would I get anything out of this?

Yes! We believe all writers need support, encouragement, accountability, and community. Freewrite is especially designed to appeal to writers at all stages of experience. It’s simply about getting words on a page and providing encouragement to others. Everyone can get something out of it!
