Being A Writer

Being A Writer is for authors who want a sustainable creative life. Grow through craft, connection and wellbeing.

Why you should join: Workshops, events and resources that strengthen your craft, with a focus on creative wellbeing and practical insight into the writing journey. Membership is $135 a year.

The one-liner

A writing community focused on craft and creative wellbeing.

What they actually sell

Being A Writer is run by Aki Schilz. The front-page promise is "A supportive writing community helping authors grow through craft, connection, and wellbeing." The public offer sits at $135 a year. Aki Schilz offers workshops and events on craft and wellbeing. What stands out is how directly the page names the result a buyer wants.

Who pays and why

Authors who want a sustainable writing life. The pull is care and connection. They pay for workshops, events and resources. The emotional pull is being around people chasing the same thing, which matters as much as any single lesson. Being A Writer gives them one place to bring that problem every week.

Where the members come from

Aki Schilz's name is on the Circle page, so members most likely come from existing work, clients and followers rather than cold traffic. The page itself links no social channels, which suggests growth comes from an audience built elsewhere. Aki Schilz stays the visible face of the brand on the page.

What's holding it back

A wellbeing focus may feel soft to writers who want hard craft feedback. The page does not show workshop dates. A fuller public page, showing what happens inside each week, would make the join decision easier.

Steal this

Centre creative wellbeing, confidence and habits, not just output.
