The Muse, my favorite local writer's center, has a ton of resources and links to other communities (https://the-muse.org/writers-resource/). I found that center in grad school and taught there later, and they are open and thoughtful people who continue to grow the community both onsite and online. There are some people who are more impressed with themselves than those around them, but they're thankfully few and far between. For the most part, everyone loves writing as art and it's wonderful to be in that vibe. My grad school cohort is the other core of my writing community even if we're not constantly in touch, it's nice to know there's help for each other when we need it.

Meant to add Writing Excuses (https://writingexcuses.com)! They are how I found this substack and have added newer community building elements. :)
