Why we created the Red Herrings Society:
Because we love the writing community & we LOVE helping others succeed in their dreams
Because not everyone has easy transportation or financial access to writing classes, conferences, & groups
Because writing can be a lonely profession, & we want to help bridge the gap for those in need of writing groups, critique groups, & publishing advice
Because writing courses are often pre-recorded without the option of attending live - & some writers learn better in an interactive environment
Because we want everyone to have the opportunity to participate in a mastermind writers’ group without the hoops of having to be deemed “advanced enough”
Because we believe in you!
