A community of published authors, professional journalists and aspiring writers
who write because
it matters
Our world is on an unstoppable rush to disaster from the parallel threats of an out-of-control climate, unabated air and water pollution, and ecosystem collapse.
Writing about these things is our way of coping with a daunting trajectory, by drawing attention to issues and potential solutions, and reminding ourselves and our readers what a wonderful world we have. We believe this to be an important calling. Join us to amplify your voice and enjoy the companionship of like-minded people.
A support network for writers, a resource base for publishers.
Whether you write, or you’re looking for a writer, or you just want to chat, please get in touch!
