A different kind of writing community

The Pause sits at the intersection of craft and soul. 

We are a writing community focused solely on the needs, unique perspectives, and strengths of midlife women, and collaboration and community are at the heart of everything we do. We define midlife loosely here, and believe it is a powerful stage of life— we are finally ready to shake off practices and beliefs that no longer serve us. 

It's easy to find online writing workshops—everything from how to get published to how to write flash fiction—but it's more challenging to find a community learning space where you feel seen and supported. Here, guest workshops are taught by and for midlife women.

Workshops and community meetings are intimate and interactive—they are a sacred,  vibrant space to share your writing and your life experiences.
