What is Fictionistas?
Substack's OG fiction writing community! A member led resource for new and seasoned authors alike, Fictionistas provides supportive engagement through insightful guest posts on craft, process, and publishing, virtual meetups, writing prompts, story challenges, discussion threads and more.

Who are the Fictionistas?
The founding members of this Substack island originally came together on a Discord server and planted their publication flag in December of 2021. Our current membership includes veteran writers who have been publishing on Substack since its early days, writers on the margins with ambitious ideas for maximizing Substack’s tools for growth and engagement, and first-time authors still trying to figure out the ins-and-outs of publishing on this ever-changing platform. Wherever you are in your fiction writing or Substack journey, you are welcome here!
We’ve got your back!
Fictionistas is a deeply supportive network for fiction writers. A place to discover and get to know new people. A platform for sharing our wins, our frustrations, and our goals. A space for commiseration, encouragement, and creative problem solving.
We are 3200 members strong and growing! Join us!
