Writers Lift, Toxic Reciprocity, and Do We Even Have Writing Communities Anymore?
b'
Everyone loves their writing community!
At least that\\u2019s what they say online\\u2026endlesssly. Hop onto social media for even a moment and you will be bombarded with praise for writing communities. Twitter is a seemingly endless barrage of writers lifts and questions to the community at large. Platforms like Medium are at the same time praised for being beautiful connected communities of wordsmiths and also lambasted for being little more than content mills and havens of toxic reciprocity.
But who\\u2019s right? Are writing communities thriving in this online era\\u2026or is it all just a load of fuzzy crap?
I\\u2019m Matt Hampton, and this week on Confessions of a Working Writer we\\u2019re exploring our writing beliefs behind supporting writers, lifting each other up, and asking the question\\u2026do we really have writing communities anymore?
Join us for another Confession of a Working Writer
