What's your story?
Your story is our focus. Your self-expression, our passion. Your transformation, our hope. At Story Circle Network our mission is to support women writers and raise public awareness of the importance of women’s personal histories.
From picking up a pen for the first time to becoming multi-published, women will find a sisterhood and resources here to help, whether writing for self-reflection or to reach the world. Through the magic of writing, we encourage you to bring your voice, your words, your style…your story, to life.
“…healthy reinforcement, in my mind, is a distinguishing trait of Story Circle Network. …we exist essentially to elevate and support one another in honing our writing skills and getting our voices heard.” —Marilea Rabasa

The SCN Women’s Book Awards
The annual Story Circle Network women’s book competitions honor independently published women authors of books for and about women. SCN offers the Sarton, named for memoirist, novelist, and poet May Sarton, who is remembered for her outstanding contributions to women’s literature. We also offer the Gilda, honoring beloved comedian Gilda Radner and awarded to memoirs with a comedic flair.
