About Membership

DC Writers’ Salon is a studio and community for writers, for the active or aspiring; author, poet, comedian or playwright (and all the other forms); extroverted artists seeking humans or introverted linguists seeking accountability.

The Salon is like a yoga studio for writers. Writers of all genres and stages come to write at Salons - two hour sessions to primarily write together, but also to stay accountable, reflect on the writing process, and connect with others in an otherwise lonely art. 

There are three Salon memberships - patron, practice, and project - depending on your writing goals. Whether you're looking to reconnect to your writing and a community, make regular space and time for your practice, or to grow in your craft and explore publication, we're here to support you in your writing aspirations.
