Women Writing for (a) Change
For over 30 years, Women Writing for (a) Change® has provided a safe and non-competitive environment for individuals to develop their writing skills, cultivate their creativity and strengthen their voices. At WWf(a)C, our writers, whether first-timers or the more experienced, find community, connection and meaningful conversation within our writing circles.
We encourage writing as a process of self-discovery and self-expression — a celebration of the individual voice. Our classes provide a unique setting in which honoring each other’s words enriches participants’ lives.

Summer Camps Are Here!
WWfaC Summer Writing Camps are for students in grades 4-12 and provide opportunities to discover and develop their unique writing voice while building literacy skills and confidence.
With trained facilitator guidance, they'll explore creative writing, self-expression, and explore the big questions about their future & identity. Whether writing stories, essays, poetry, or personal reflections, students will practice articulating their thoughts and embrace the power of words.
