Greetings!
 Now is the time to do something for yourself as a writer. FWA offers many opportunities for you to do just that. Attend a local writers group meeting, connect with other writers online in the FWA Network, and share in an intense weekend of learning, networking, and fun at the annual FWA Conference.
The conference is only days away! Your paid attendance offers you a weekend immersion in writing including 30+ workshops and myriad networking opportunities. (Meals included in the fee, too!)
Don't underestimate the power of being among people who care about writing as much as you do. It's inspiring and energizing.
