You are invited to visit with Women Who Write at our monthly meetings. You may visit for two meetings before deciding if you wish to become a member. Guests are welcome to observe during the meeting; critiquing is by members only. Membership receives priority consideration in readings/critiquing of material.
Our membership dues are $50.00 ($25 dues and $25 for the purchase of five anthologies at $5 each), paid annually on July 1st.
Partial dues of $25.00 will be collected from those who join after December 1st. Dues entitle members to participate in the critical response process, share their work with the group, participate in retreats and community events involving Women Who Write, provide readings, and have their critiqued works published in the annual Women Who Write anthology “Calliope." Each member whose work is published will receive one free copy. Members are expected to take an active role in leading meetings, planning retreats and readings, writing grants and other agenda items. If you plan to share your work, please bring 12-14 copies. Works of up to five pages, double-spaced, will be read and discussed during the meetings. During the discussion of member’s works, “Toward a Process for Critical Response” will be used. This process consists of six steps:

Member benefits also include:
