The online meeting place for women who write

Welcome to the Mslexia Salon: the members-only area of our website, where you can attend a workshop with top authors, get feedback from agents and editors, share your work, join a group, meet likeminded writers, browse writing opportunities, and access a wealth of ‘how to’ writerly resources, prompts and workshop material – all for just £18 a year. Salon membership is available only to subscribers of Mslexia magazine.

Upcoming Salon events

October Write-ins | Mondays, 12-1pm BST via Zoom
Bring whatever writing projects you have on the go and settle in for a peaceful hour of writing in the company of others. Visit the event page for the link to join. 

Lying Our Way to the Truth | 17 October, 5-7pm via Zoom
Join our 2020 Poetry Pamphlet Competition winner Alison Binney to explore the relationship between truth, accuracy and precision in poetry-writing, considering the extent to which each of these things may be of value, both when we write poems about historical events and when we draw on experiences closer to home. Visit the event page in the Salon to register. 

Reflect on Your Writing Journey | 12 November, 5-7pm via Zoom
As we approach the close of 2024, join Bec Evans for a workshop that will help you reflect on your writing journey. Whether you've written a lot, a little, or are just getting started, this session draws inspiration from the new Mslexia Diary & Planner to wrap up your year with intention. Celebrate your progress and put in place plans for the writing year to come in a supportive and encouraging environment. Visit the event page in the Salon to register. 

Winter Poems | 27 November, 5-7pm
This generative poetry workshop, led by Jennifer Lee Tsai, will explore the season of winter as a rich and potent thematic source to write about our lives, memories, dreams and environments. Visit the event page in the Salon to register.

This is where our Salon events take place, including writing surgeries and workshops, Q&As with authors and publishing professionals, coffee mornings, writathons – and our famous Agent Extravaganzas.
