“for writers by writers”
About the Club
Established in November 2007, the Northern Virginia Writers Club is an affiliate of the Virginia Writers Club serving aspiring and published authors alike in the northern Virginia region. Currently, meetings are hybrid or entirely virtual, usually on the third or fourth Saturday of every month.
The club offers workshops, panel discussions, and expert speakers designed to assist members in the art and craft of writing, as well as to support members with the business side of writing. Club meetings, a discord server, social media and a members-only Facebook Group offer members the opportunity to exchange ideas and establish contact with other writers having similar interests. We also have critique groups and beta readers.
