"The Writers’ Bloc community feels like my online home. It’s where I go to hang out multiple times a day and enjoy the camaraderie, accountability, inspiration, constructive critique, rich teaching, and encouragement with other writers who share a desire to glorify God with our words."

It has been a blessing to be part of The Writer’s Bloc community. They encourage me, keep me accountable to my writing goals, and offer prayer and insights when I’m stuck. I’m grateful to be part of this lovely group of women!

The Writers' Bloc has been such a sweet community of likeminded Christian writers. It's a place to learn and grow both in the craft of writing, but also in the understanding of what it means to be a Christian writer. It's a breath of fresh air away from the hustle and crazy of trying to "make a name for ourselves" and instead focuses on creating a sustainable writing life that honors God, blesses others, and is fulfilling for us!

Collaboration, encouragement, and real feedback, with personal support, advice, and “how-to” – it’s all here. If you are a Christian writer, seeking an active and caring community to nourish your creative heart and strengthen your writing art, the Writers’ Bloc is for you. What do I love most about the Bloc? The writers. At the Bloc, I’ve found a network of like-minded friends who challenge, encourage, and celebrate with me. It’s a safe place to ask questions and to receive honest, and kind, feedback on my writing. This is a generous and friendly neighborhood. The weekly teachings are practical and the writing tips actionable. Plus, I love the collaboration and sharing opportunities. The Bloc feeds my writer’s soul and gently pushes me to grow.

Joining the Writers Bloc has brought me into a wonderful, encouraging community of Christian writers, something I’ve longed to find as I’ve become serious about my writing journey. I love the neighborhood spaces where members interact: teaching, prayer, accountability, resources, feedback-- even live chats and Zoom meet-ups. And all on a private network that’s algorithm and ad-free! I’m excited to be part of this diverse and genuine community who “love God, love words and love readers.” If that’s your desire too, welcome to the neighborhood!

I’m so thankful for my membership in the Writers’ Bloc! In this first 3 months, we’ve shared prayer requests and lessons on all types of heart and art topics. We have supported each other through life’s trials and triumphs. We have an amazingly generous group of Christian ladies who make each other comfortable enough to share our writing and our vulnerabilities, allowing others to feel heard and validated. Practical help comes through requested feedback and the numerous resources available in community. Cara Ray has created this valuable neighborhood where new and exciting treasures are continuing to be added. Come join us! We’d love to see you there!

"Our task as stewards of the word begins and ends in love. Loving language means cherishing it for its beauty, precision, power to enhance understanding, power to name, power to heal. And it means using words as instruments of love."
Marilyn McEntyre
"I think the way you love people is by influencing them, persuading them, winning them, Awakening them to delight in God above all things."

"Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it."
