And the day came
When the risk it took
to remain tight inside the bud
was more painful
than the risk it took
to bloom.

Whether you write for yourself or for publication there is something for you at Women Who Write. We invite you to join us.

Among us are members who write poetry, novels, essays or articles for literary journals, magazines or newspapers. Members who write to preserve their personal histories for their children and grandchildren. Writers who are beginning or putting the finishing touches on novels, poetry, chapbooks, memoirs and books of poetry. Writers who write specifically for children -- creating manuscripts for picture books, as well as middle grade, and Young Adult (YA fiction).

Members of Women Who Write connect and learn from each other in critique groups and workshops, share their work at our public Spring and Fall readings, can submit their work to our literary magazine, Goldfinch, and contribute their time and talent by making Women Who Write a vital resource in our communities.

Check us out by reading our work, by coming to our readings or by joining one of our critique groups.
