Through twice-weekly writing sessions we work together build a writing practice you can be proud of.
Are you sick of setting goals and then forgetting about them? Stay on track with monthly goal setting and accountability sessions.
Get inspired by visiting author interviews, skill-building workshops and engaging in the journeys of other creatives.
Connecting with other writers each week, celebrating and commiserating with each might be just what you need to show up for your own work.
Are you tired of just surviving as a writer, and want to thrive? If so, you’re in the right place. Start Here: A Beginner’s Writing Community is an online community that provides aspiring writers with the support they need to perfect their craft and grow as artists.
How? By providing expert guidance and support from author and mentor Trinity Doyle while interacting with other writers in the community. You’ll be inspired by stories of success and learn from the challenges faced by other writers. You will receive feedback on your work from a published author, who can help you improve the quality of what you’re writing. You’ll learn how to build a writing routine and stick with it. You’ll receive support, encouragement and feedback from other writers who are just starting out on their journey as well as those who have been published by traditional publishers or self-published.
If you’re looking for a place to get support and encouragement as you create your first publication, or if you are an established writer who wants to keep growing professionally and personally, Start Here will serve as an amazing resource.

No, we offer support for all kinds of writing. Some of our members are writing newsletters, memoirs, fanfiction, graphic novels...Just to name a few!
While we are primarily geared towards beginning writers we welcome writers at all stages who feel they could benefit from a supportive writing space.
Indefinitely! The Beginners Writing Community is an ongoing monthly membership. You're free to join for however long you need. We recommend signing up for three months at a time to get the most out of your commitment.
Of course. You can cancel whenever you want but we don’t offer refunds for time remaining on your membership. If you cancel, you will maintain access to the community until your next billing period.
Not to worry! All of our live sessions are recorded and can be accessed through our Geneva home.
We do our best to ensure anyone from anywhere in the world can join in the fun. Our weekly Writing Hours happen Mondays at 8pm and Wednesdays at 10am AEST (Sydney time). Monthly events like First Friday Feedback and Goal Setting alternate each month to suit our US and EU members in turn.
