Chapters
Small accountability groups with shared goals and live writing sprints.
Chapters are small groups of writers who keep each other moving. Set a shared word goal, run live sprints together, post check-ins, and watch the group meter fill.
Anyone can join a Chapter and take part for free. Creating and running your own Chapter is free too, including the member cap, invites, announcements, and the group forum.
What it does
- Join open Chapters or accept an invite, free, and take part in everything inside.
- Run shared writing sprints with a live countdown and log your words toward the group goal.
- Post announcements, react, and keep up in the Chapter forum and chat.
- Create and manage your own Chapter for free, with invites, a member cap, and leadership handoff.
