Let’s Build Pennwriters Together
Hey Pennwriters family,
We know why you’re here. You love writing, and you want to grow as a writer. That’s what brings us together. But here’s the thing: we want to make sure your membership is giving you the most value possible.
I can't believe it is September already and that means we are about 1/3 (33.333~% for the math nerds in the room) of the way through our new year. With the Pennwriters September Board meeting on the horizon, it's time to continue our work on making Pennwriters better for all.
So I’ve got a question for you: What would make Pennwriters even better for you?
Your current membership with Pennwriters provides you with:
- Full access to any of the various writing and critique group meetings throughout the state and country no matter where you reside.
- A $25 discount on all online courses.
- The ability to enter a members only writing contest each January.
- A generous discount (varies each year depending on which side of the state) on the Annual Conference in May.
- A $15 discount on the Annual Area #1 Writer's Road Trip Mini Conference in October.
- A tailored Critique Partners Program where you are matched to a critique partner or Beta reader based on your interests/genre.
- Bi-monthly Newsletter that includes articles, stories, announcements of publications, and industry news.
- Access to the website that includes blogs, news, resources, and forums.
- A dedicated section for Published Pennwriters based on specific publishing criteria.
- And, the **NEW** Quarterly FREE Webinar Program.
This is your chance to dream big, or small! Whether it’s an idea for a casual online hangout or a brand-new program you wish existed, we want to hear it.
Share your thoughts with us at president@pennwriters.org.
Your feedback helps us shape the future of Pennwriters and make sure we’re giving you resources and programs that matter to you.
Thanks for being part of this amazing community. We can’t wait to hear your ideas!
