The Writers' Loft
Chapter Book, MG, and Tween, Corner
Yup, we are all things from chapter books up to tweens. From small words to big emotions. Bring it.
Let a middle grade author welcome you to the Loft! (video coming soon)
From particular word choice to incredible voice, writing for the in-between kids is all about the details. (In between Picture Books and YA).
It Just Takes One Click ...
Whether you're looking to join a critique group, ask a question in our private community corner, or get query tips directly from an agent, it just takes one click.

Stay in the (Loft) Loop
The easiest way into the Writers' Loft is to simply start receiving our email newsletter.
Sign up, and you'll be the first to know when we have new events and offerings.
Email us at [email protected] with any questions.
Join a WL Group
Groups are the backbone of the Loft. You don't even have to be a member to join.
We have crit groups, reading groups, and productivity groups that meet virtually.
And if you don't see a group that matches your genre or what you need, we'll create one, just put a note in the free group chat "looking for a new group!"
Become a Member
Go all in and join! We have two membership types, and depending on which one you choose, you get full access to the exclusive Loft online community forum (privately hosted; not on social media sites), or unlimited drop-ins to our space in Hudson MA.
Both memberships give a 10% discount on all workshops and classes, and publication opportunities like our latest anthology, Gnomes & Ungnomes!
