The Scarlet Quill Society

Welcome to the secret back room where the Scarlet Quill Society meets.

Every year YeahWrite runs a free workshop series that explores some aspect of writing and craft in depth. In 2022, we began offering a couple add-ons to our always-free posts that we think you’ll find exciting and worth a few bucks a month: The Scarlet Quill Society will have actual face-to-face (okay, virtual) monthly meetings to delve into the topics and answer your questions, and an editorial backroom on Discord!

Here’s how it works

On the first of every month we’ll post a topical workshop post. We cannot stress enough: we are not shorting these posts to add pay content elsewhere. They’re the same thorough, informative, and—we hope—engaging discussions you’ve come to expect from us.

Once a month we’ll hold a one-hour (ish) video workshop or panel (depending on the month’s topic) for our Society members that covers and clarifies the topic with opportunities to ask questions live—or by email if you can’t make it in person. You can access this video workshop as a subscriber, or just pay for the months you want. After the workshop, we’ll make the recording available for everyone. We also host a special Discord channel for Society members that gives you more direct access to the editors if you have questions or comments about the month’s topic.

YeahWrite was founded on the principle that it benefits everyone when people can write well, and we’re committed to giving you the tools to do that. We’re excited to see what you think of them in the Coffeehouse on Facebook and Discord. On the other hand, we’re also committed to keeping the lights on and paying our bills, so that we can bring you that content.

So we’ve added a couple pay options that give you the chance to interact more directly with our team and get your specific questions answered instead of just the general information that we think everyone will find useful and that we had to prioritize based on how often it comes up. For a few extra bucks (seriously we’re talking $3 and $5) you’ll have the opportunity to do exactly that.

Join the Scarlet Quill Society!

Live Scarlet Quill Society meetings take place once a month. Each month, paid Society members will receive an email with a link to the Zoom meeting. If not every topic interests you, you can also purchase one-time access passes to each month’s meeting via Ko-Fi. If you can’t make it to the meeting, or you don’t like to speak on camera, you are welcome to submit questions before the meeting that our editors will answer in the meeting.

• $5 one-time access to this month’s Zoom session
• $5 monthly subscription: Access to all the live meetings and recordings as soon as they’re uploaded, as well as a private Discord channel where your topical questions will be answered by YeahWrite editors!
• $3 monthly subscription: Access to the meeting recordings as soon as they’re uploaded, as well as a private Discord channel where your topical questions will be answered by YeahWrite editors!

A week after the meeting, recordings will become available to all at no cost, but if you find them useful we encourage you to leave a tip in our tip jar—it helps keep the lights on over here and allows us to keep bringing you the high-quality workshop content you’ve come to expect from us, as well as acquire some exciting guest panelists.
