Nearly 300 local writers and podcasters are members of What Cheer Club

​

Writing, illustration and podcasting are often solitary and less-than-lucrative crafts. Yet, the literary arts, podcasts and journalism are critical for our culture and understanding of the world. As a 'Creative Capital', Providence should be a place for the content arts to flourish. 

​

Founded in 2018, the Club serves as a central, umbrella organization supporting and providing space to many of our state's writing-related nonprofits, as well as providing coworking, networking and career support to individual writers. Plus, dozens of local podcasters flourish in our audio studio. 

​

Lastly, we also support the reading and podcast fan public with Pressing Matters, a free email and social feed on the 1,000+ literary events happening in RI every year.
