Events

What's Going On?

From Book Chats to Workshops, Festivals to Writers' Groups , our events offerings keep the Society relevant for women writers.

When the pandemic prohibited our ability to gather, we pivoted (yes, that proverbial word) and took our events online. Our virtual events have become a welcome addition to our program that resulted in a boost in our membership.

Whether you’re a Zoom native or not, keep an eye out for the next writing update on this page. We’d love to see you at our next event – virtually or until the time we can meet again in person.
