The Robin Finn Women's Writing Den

Welcome to the Robin Finn Women’s Writing Den. The Den is a virtual writing sanctuary that will transform your writing practice through weekly "2-minutes of magic" mini writes, individualized strength-based feedback, exercises designed to build confidence, freedom, and exploration, and a meaningful connection to a community of supportive writers. In The Den, we will explore our voices, unleash the stories that want to be told, share our work in a nurturing environment, overcome negative beliefs and "gremlin talk," generate tons of new material, get uplifted and supported, and be creative, accountable, and bold. This is your 24/7 writing coach and writing community all in one. Buckle up! 

Each week, I offer mini-writes, feedback, strategies, support, methods, and mindsets to help you release and share your authentic voice. Our deepest writing comes from our bodies, not our minds. When we learn to get out of our own way, our creative genius naturally shines through. In The Den, you will write and share feedback in a manner that sparks your creativity, enhances your accountability, assists you in writing without judgment, and invigorates your writing! 

Your monthly membership includes: 

 • Weekly commitment making; weekly writing prompts for "Two Minutes of Magic" miniwrites; Den Talks focused on writing strategies and methods, working with timed writing, supporting freshly-written material, going deeper into your writer’s voice, creating and sustaining momentum, building confidence as a writer, submitting and pitching your writing, and other relevant topics as they arise; weekend writing challenges; collaborative writing opportunities; and exercises designed to support and uplift your creative spirit. Every writer will receive individualized, strength-based feedback designed to nurture a writer’s original voice and build artistic self-esteem. The Den is a nurturing and generative space to write.
