An organization for published and aspiring writers. |
Willamette Writers is the largest writers' organization in Oregon and one of the largest writers' organizations in the United States. It is a non-profit, tax-exempt Oregon corporation led by volunteers. Elected officials and directors administer an active program of monthly meetings, special seminars, workshops and conferences. Continuing with established programs and starting new ones is only made possible by strong volunteer support. Members continually explore other ways to interact in the literary community.
Willamette Writers' goal is to provide and encourage a creative environment and support system for current and aspiring writers. Since its beginning in 1965, Willamette Writers has provided meeting places for the exchange of ideas and information and has initiated programs designed to help writers increase skills related to the craft of writing. Both published and aspiring writers are invited to join. Dues are $36 a year.
Upcoming Meetings and Events
Our next scheduled meeting is September 2nd with Jennie Shortridge, who will speak about Rules Are Made To Be Broken: The truth about the ten most common "rules" for writers. Jennie is author of Love and Biology at the Center of the Universe. For more information, read Leona Grieve's column.

Holidazed, a twisted and heartwarming comedy written by Cynthia Whitcomb and Marc Acito, is the holiday production at Artists Repertory Theatre opening November 18 and running through December 28. Willamette Writers is sponsoring a performance on Saturday night November 22 at 7:30 p.m. to raise money for Books for Kids and Young Willamette Writers.
Tickets are $36 for adults, $24 seniors, and $16 for any students. (This Saturday night performance normally sells for $47, so it's also a deal!)
