The F Word Writing Groups
Gather. Write. Share. Build community through feminist songwriting.

Across cities and online spaces, people are beginning to gather in F Word Writing Groups to explore the prompts and practices in The F Word Workbook together.
An F Word Writing Group is a small group of songwriters who meet regularly to write, reflect, and share songs inspired by The F Word Workbook. Groups may meet in person or online and create space for feminist dialogue, creative exploration, and mutual support.
Anyone is welcome to start an F Word Writing Group. Groups may be hosted by songwriters, educators, activists, artists, or anyone interested in exploring feminist creativity. Each participant should have their own copy of The F Word Workbook so they can engage fully with the writing exercises and reflections.
