Welcome to your writing community
Your story deserves
to be written.
Write Your Life is a community writing initiative based in the Southern Ontario. We work with people of all backgrounds and levels of experience to help them shape and share their stories on their own terms.
Our mission
Writing is for everyone — not just those who have access to institutions.
Too many stories go unwritten because editorial support & mentorship isn't accessible. We bring thoughtful, attentive writing education and manuscript consultation outside of academic walls and into community spaces, into living rooms, into the hands of the people who need it.
Whether you're an senior reflecting on a life well-lived, a young person finding your voice, or published author ready to refine your manuscript, there's a place for you here.
“Every life contains a story worth telling. We're here to help you tell yours with care, craft, and community.”
Who we work with
You belong here if…
You have a story
You've lived through something worth writing about: a challenge, a triumph, a journey. We help you find the words.
You have a manuscript
You've finished a draft of your novel, memoir, screenplay, or poetry collection and want expert eyes on it.
You want community
You want to write alongside others — to be heard, encouraged, and challenged in a supportive group setting.
You're a student
You're developing your craft and looking for thoughtful mentorship that meets you where you are.
You're a senior
You have a lifetime of experience to put on the page and we have the patience and skill to help you do it.
You're a poet
You've assembled a collection and want a reader who understands the form deeply, start to finish.
