Welcome to Adopt-A-Writer!



The club helps members connect across dA and meet people they may have never found otherwise. Come in and adopt a writer! Or find someone who will offer critique, comments, advice, help, and friendship.

How does this work?


Join the group as a member, browse the writer profiles in our gallery, and submit your own! The gallery is where members can see who's interested in adoption, in adopting, or in becoming a writing buddy. If someone on the list catches your eye, all you need to do is send them a note!

So, in other words...
  1. Join the group
  2. Fill out a profile and submit it to our Gallery. 
  3. Take a look at the other profiles in our gallery
  4. Have fun!

Also, please note: We do not accept literature works in our gallery unless they're a profile for adoption, a collaboration between paired individuals or a few special circumstances. Please don't ask us to accept your story/work if it doesn't fit into those categories.

Adopt-a-Writer Needs You!


Spread the word. Mention us in a journal, post a poll, leave a link. It takes a few seconds, but it makes a big difference. The more people know about the group, the larger the profile pool for us to match people up from.

Make a group-related stamp, avatar, or deviation. And when you do, submit it to the group gallery. You'll be featured, we'll get a stamp -- it's a win-win. And the best entries may be eligible for a month subscription. :eager:

Volunteer as Support Staff. If you like what #Adopt-A-Writer's about and want to help out behind the scenes, send in a Staff Application Form to the club in a Note.

I've sent a join request, but in the mean time, I'd like to make a request to the kind members of this group:

I'm having a bit of trouble naming a webcomic I'm working on, and I'd like some help from some writers. I'm having a mini-contest, where whoever's title is chosen wins free line art.

The story description can be found here: [link] I hope some of you will be willing to help~ Thanks in advance!
