Dr. Holly Ordway leads this community of evangelizing writers in the Word on Fire Institute where members encourage each other in the shared vocation of serving Our Lord through writing. They develop and broaden their skills as writers, and they give and receive peer feedback through a structured method.

The Community is formed around three goals: 1) to help writers grow in their faith, particularly with regard to the virtues that are needed for the vocation of writing; 2) to help writers grow in their knowledge and skill as writers; and 3) to bring writers into fellowship with other writers, particularly with regard to providing feedback, assistance, and encouragement.

The Writing Community includes regular teaching and discussion from Dr. Ordway in the “Teaching and Discussion” space. Members are invited to join one of the Community’s small Writing Groups, which are each led by a pair of moderators and under the patronage of a particular saint who was a writer. Here, writers develop ongoing fellowship, have opportunities for discussion, and can share their work for peer feedback. Regular opportunities for writing activities are provided throughout the year as well.
