CWOW is an Affiliate of American Christian Fiction Writers

Do you wish you were a more confident writer?

In the words of John Steinbeck...

"To start a story still scares me to death. I will go so far as to say that the writer who is not scared is happily unaware of the remote and tantalizing majesty of the medium."

Come join Christian Writers of the West where we help and encourage each other in our writing journeys. Among our members, you'll find writers of romance, young adult, children’s, historical, western, suspense, and speculative fiction. We study the craft of writing at our meetings, which have featured such speakers as Literary Agent Steve Laube, and authors Colleen Coble, Susan Meissner, C.S. Lakin, Stacy Connelly, Carolyn Zane, Tosca Lee, Pamela Tracy, and more.  We also have informal get-togethers where we may brainstorm, critique, or workshop our work in process. Join us. We need each other!
