Here’s what some of our members have to say about membership in Winston-Salem Writers.

I found in Winston-Salem Writers the best critique group ever. I can’t imagine my writing life without their criticism and support.
Carol Roan
I joined WSW when I quit my full time job, in order to spend more time writing. I have enjoyed all of the programs and was flattered to be asked to serve as VP for Programs. I have gained much through fellowship with other writers, my critique group and other experiences afforded by WSW.
Susan Williamson
I have thought of writing seriously for many years, but have recently become motivated to spend more time with it. I would definitely be considered a beginner, but would love to learn from more experienced writers and also receive feedback on some of my own poetry. I’m excited at the prospect of future experiences with this group.
The Winston-Salem Writer’s Club has given me courage to allow my heart to open and take chances expressing myself, incorporating humor and emotion in stories that reflect my childhood and life experiences. I am grateful to all the members for helping me grow as a writer and person. In a nutshell…this group is total fun and I thank you for all you share with me.
