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 

July Write-ins | 12-1pm via Zoom
Our lunchtime write-ins offer a quiet, communal writing space on Mondays from, 12-1pm via Zoom. Even if you're only able to join for 15 minutes, feel free to pop in and say hello. Our final write-in for the summer will be on 21 July! Visit the Salon for the link to join.

We’ll be pausing our events over August to rest and refresh, but if you're looking for inspiration for your entry to our 2025 Fiction Competitions, make sure to check out our 'Spotlight Events'. We'll be sharing some of our favourite fiction workshops in the Salon over the summer and will be back online in September with a fabulous line-up of workshops and write-ins! Keep an eye out for more information.

Foyer

The Mslexia Salon is a virtual space where you can take part in a writing surgery, quiz a top author or editor, join a discussion about anything from finding a crime agent to staging a poetry event – or browse a treasure trove of jobs, opportunities and ‘how-to’ primers and workshops, from formatting a play script to writing a synopsis.

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.
