- Learn what kind of support feels right to you
- Make sure the community will feel like home to you
You donāt need to impress us. You just need to be honest and open.

šø A Note from Danika

Hi, Iām Danika.
I created Author Ever After because I was tired of writing spaces that felt competitive, chaotic, or disconnected from real life. I didnāt want pressureāI wanted presence. I didnāt want lecturesāI wanted partnership.
This is the space I wish Iād had when I was just starting out. It’s a community for:
Women with big hearts and busy lives. Moms and midlife creatives. Late bloomers and bold beginners.
If youāre holding a story close to your chest but know itās time to let it growā¦
Iād be honoured to read your application.
