Weekdays in June 2026, 9–10am ET

A June Magic Circle will be happening…just a little differently this time!

The wonderful writer Lynne Squires has offered to coordinate the month of June for people to gather, keep their momentum up, and keep writing together! I have led 24 of these circles over the past 6 years, but I won’t be able to lead this one, as I’m getting ready for a kidney transplant. I WILL try to be on as often as I can because I love this space so much!

Beginning June 1, this group will meet every morning to check in, set intentions, write in supportive quiet, and sometimes even share aloud. There will also be opportunities for you to lead, to create portals for your friends, and read during fun “salon-style” days.

Come for warm community, lots of inspiration, and a fresh, imaginative writing portal every morning if you need one. 

Registration is $50 for the full month or pay what you can.

Payments can be made via Zelle (preferred) using dianeyzp(@)hotmail(dot)com) or Venmo (@zinnaliterary). I will make sure that Lynne receives your confirmation and email address once you register.

I hope you can join!

Warmly,
Diane

Hear what people are saying about the Magic Writing Circles:

“The practice of starting each day thinking of myself as a writer in the company of other people who think of me as a writer is the best gift I’ve ever given myself. This practice is carving out a space in my brain that I haven’t been able to create on my own. I have always put writing after…after work, after the family, after errands, after after after, contingent on so many things. I thought I’d feel cramped in my day fitting this in, but honestly, it is reducing my anxiety because, finally, I am starting the day seeing myself the way I want to see myself. And the rest of the day falls into the cracks around that writing core rather than the other way around. I am so grateful.”
–Sara Dovre Wudali

“The writing portals you provide and that we yearn for are calls to our subconscious looking for answers. The fears that might have had us trapped in paralysis are gone because a group of engaged, caring people is watching, hearing, but most importantly: listening with their hearts.”
–Juana Rodriguez

“This has been the most generative, inspiring, and supportive space for me. I truly have loved every second of it.”
–Rachel Lola Wolfe
