Why bohemian writers club
About the boo
The Bohemian Writers Club is an experiment in writing courageously, creatively, uncomfortably. It responds to Ottessa Moshfegh’s call for stories that live in an amoral universe, past the political agendas on social media. We have imaginations for a reason. We need characters in novels to be free to range into the dark and wrong. How else will we understand ourselves?
It is thus a space for story truths more than happening truths: stories designed to catch-and-release the firestorm that is our world. Of what it feels like to be caught up in something you don’t control. For stories judged not by factual accuracy but by their resonance: stories that restructure worlds and make people feel stuff.
And it can be a space for intelligent polemics and behind the scenes confessionals on the experience of fieldwork and theorising. A space for the psychedelic and ruminative — beautifully rendered, always.
This then is where we promise to write thoughtfully, candidly, experimentally about whatever it is which we have come into this world to say — and damn the consequences.

Why Choose The Bohemian Writers Club?
At The Bohemian Writers Club, we believe in the power of bold storytelling. We create a space where writers can push the boundaries of creativity, exploring the uncomfortable, the daring, and the uncharted. Here, stories transcend political agendas and the limits of conventional thinking—because imagination has no boundaries.
Our approach values emotional resonance over factual precision. We encourage narratives that reflect the chaos and unpredictability of life, offering a glimpse into the complexity of human experience. Whether you’re delving into the surreal or the deeply introspective, this is a place for stories that make people feel, think, and question.
We also provide room for thoughtful essays, raw confessions, and polemical pieces that challenge the status quo. We welcome writers who aren’t afraid to dive deep into their ideas, to be honest, to experiment, and to tackle what truly matters to them.
If you’re ready to write fearlessly and express your truest self, you’re already one of us. Welcome to a community where storytelling knows no limits.
