Join the Skagit Valley Writers League
Joining the Skagit Valley Writers League has many benefits. Not only do you get a advanced information about the upcoming events that we hold. You also get to become a member of a critique group which many members find to be invaluable while working on their novels/short stories/memoirs/etc. You are also eligible to come to the summer picnic and the Christmas party at the end of the year, partake in Writers Theatre and in First Words. But one of the greatest things about joining the group is knowing that you are part of a larger group of people that will help you, encourage you, and lend that moral support that we all need from time to time.
Being a writer is a lonely journey for many of us as it is a solitary path. But knowing that you are part of a group where the other members understand the difficulties of getting that line just right, or pulling out that last little bit from our characters is something very special. It is a camaraderie that we need and thrive from the exposure.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact the President via EMAIL

These are fun opportunities for you to share a bit of your work with others, and get to know other writers and their work. These aren’t critique sessions, but you’ll find a room full of friendly and supportive listening ears. Bring a short piece, or a brief excerpt from a longer piece, to read aloud (for a maximum of 5-7 minutes—time yourself at home first). You may also bring a dessert to share, and enjoy the goodies that others bring. Check the website calendar for specific days, times, and locations. Again, everyone is welcome. | ||||
