Writing in the Digital Domain - FWG June 2026 Meeting

Whether it's blogging, cultivating a social media presence, or creating self-promotional content, writing for the digital domain is a distinctly different experience than writing a novel, poetry, short stories, or just writing for yourself.

Regardless of your age, experience, or technological literacy, the internet is here to stay. Social media, online distribution, and audio-visual content platforms are unavoidable for authors wanting to reach a wider audience in the modern age. Just because we aren't familiar nor comfortable with how to use the tools the internet provides us doesn't mean we should shy away from them.

The ability to write for the online domain is essential both for building an audience for your stories AND for cultivating yourself as a professional, a brand, and a public figure; All of which are vital if you want to write professionally.

But knowing how to write for the online domain is really hard, especially if you didn't grow up with the internet.

Lucky for you, the Foothills Writer's Group is here to help!

The Foothills Writers Group is hosting an open discussion & brainstorming session for writers looking to learn from, and share their experiences with, and to explore the opportunities the FWG provides for it's members to reach an online audience.

If you have questions about:

• How do I write short-form content?
• What should I write on my blog?
• Where can I promote myself online?
• How should I present myself to others online?
• How do I make 'content' about my writing? About myself?
• How do I make my writing stand out online?

Then this meeting is for you!

Do you have questions that aren't listed here? Great! Bring your questions with you! We'd love to hear what you have to ask! The best way for all of us to learn is to share our questions & concerns!
