Our membership community

We are a supportive, generous community of midlife (and beyond) writers — a tiny corner of the Internet where women can write together, learn from each other, share their work and receive feedback, and deepen their writing practice.

What makes MidCircle unique?

We are a writing community focused solely on the needs, unique perspectives, and strengths of midlife women.

We specialize in amplifying the voices of midlife women who write, and collaboration and community are the cornerstone of our mission.

Our membership is specifically for women at midlife (our definition of “midlife” is more of a state of mind—if you are 82 years old and feel at home here, we welcome you!) and we believe we have so much to learn from one another. A hallmark of our work is supporting the voices and knowledge of other midlife women, and we are actively seeking guest presenters who can share their skills and wisdom with our community.

LET'S DO THIS

"Stephanie and Jessica honour every woman’s personal pathway to discovering what works for her."

"This HerStories workshop got me to write after a long period of procrastination, but more importantly, it impelled me to re-engage the whole practice of writing. I was inspired to sit down and think about my writing, what I want to write, what I need to write, and how I should go about it. It gave me the gentle push I was looking for. "

WORKSHOP PARTICIPANT

 

"I loved this workshop. Reading the other women's work has been powerful and inspiring, and tapping into some of my own stories that I didn't know were laying around, waiting to be seen and told, has been cathartic and refreshing.."

"The process was so intentionally developed and skillfully led. And receiving such supportive and kind feedback on my writing was some much needed encouragement to keep going, and keep writing.
