Cool Story Sis is a transformative writing community for women and non-binary individuals who are often silenced in traditional spaces. We believe storytelling is a sacred act of healing, reclamation, and creative rebellion.
Through trauma-informed practices, accessible writing tools, and deep community care, we empower writers to speak their truths, explore their identities, and break free from limiting narratives. Whether you’re a seasoned author or just beginning, this is your space to be seen, to write bravely, and to belong.
Cool Story Sis stands for:
ommunity
We’re more than a platform—we’re a movement. Cool Story Sis is about connection, not competition. It’s a space for writers to grow together, not in isolation. We believe in the power of collective storytelling and what we can build when we lift each other up.
pportunity
We know how many talented writers are held back by lack of access. That’s why we’re committed to opening doors—offering tools, support, and a place to grow, no matter your background or level of experience.
ptimism
Social media can feel shallow, performative, and sometimes toxic. We want to return to something real. Through long-form storytelling, honest conversations, and meaningful connections, we’re reclaiming the joy of words—and choosing hope.
earning
We’re always growing. From writing guides and workshops to peer feedback and community learning, we believe in nurturing our craft and each other. The best lessons come from shared experience.
haring
Writing shouldn’t be gatekept. We’re breaking down the barriers of the publishing world and encouraging collaboration, feedback, and creative freedom. When we share our work, we share our humanity.
herapy
Here, words are medicine. We offer the option to write anonymously—not to hide, but to reveal. Without the weight of identity, we can write from truth, from the gut, and freedom. This is writing as reclamation.
riginal
Your voice is unlike anyone else’s. We honour that. We want your raw, unpolished, wild, and beautiful work—at every stage. This is your space to experiment, explore, and be seen.
epresentation
We’re here to shift the landscape. The publishing world has long excluded too many voices—we’re changing that. At Cool Story Sis, every background, story, and perspective matters. You belong here.
ou
Yes, you. You, with the stories you’ve never told. You, who’ve been waiting for a sign to start. You, who wonders if your voice matters. It does. We’re building this together—so reach out, join in, and tell your story.
