You Graduated.
Now You're Alone.
Your workshop ended. The community vanished. You're writing in isolation, wondering if anyone still cares about work that matters.
You're tired of “write every day” platitudes. You need real feedback from real writers who push you forward.
MFAs cost $50k+. Online groups feel hollow. You're stuck between amateur hour and gatekeeping.
Community That
Challenges You.
Vagabond Writers Collective is an online cohort-based workshop for post-grad writers who are serious about craft.
Small groups. Expert instruction. Intensive feedback. Affordable costs.
No fluff. No egos. Just writers helping writers create work with staying power.
The Manifesto
We
Refuse.
We're writers who got tired of choosing between overpriced MFA programs and underwhelming online groups. So we built something better.
Vagabond isn't about networking or personal brands. It's about the work. About pushing each other to write things that matter, that last, that refuse to settle for good enough.
We're here for the post-grad writers who know they can't do this alone—but refuse to compromise on quality or go broke trying.
