Our Mission
To nurture and connect physician writers who use storytelling to illuminate the human experience, foster creativity in medicine, and build a community grounded in craft, compassion, and voice.
Our Vision
To serve as the professional home for physician writers—a vibrant, inclusive community where storytelling and craft are nurtured through national and regional retreats, regular workshops, author events, and shared creative work.
We envision a future in which every physician who is passionate about creative writing and storytelling can find belonging, mentorship, and inspiration, and one in which our collective voices contribute to the broader literary and medical landscape.
We are a group of physicians who long searched for an established community in which we could share our passion for creative writing and storytelling. After failing to find exactly what we were looking for in other professional societies, we realized that we needed to create our own.
Our work focuses on:
Providing community, networking, and mentorhip opportunities for physician writers
Hosting writing workshops for physician authors of all levels of experience
Providing a safe and constructive outlet for sharing work and feedback
