Hi Women Writers,

Welcome to all the new members and subscribers this week!

It is January, the best month of the year to plan ahead. Have you thought about starting a local support group to reach your writing goals this year? This week’s article tells you in detail how to do exactly that. And if you want to partner with NAWW to get even more support for your local group, make sure you read the section on becoming a NAWW Regional Representative below too. Online or off, the NAWW is here to support you—one word at a time.

Have you seen the new levels of 2008 membership yet? This year we incorporated our new improved home study courses right into the NAWW membership for you. We also made it more affordable by offering you payment options. Just click on the buttons below to learn about each level of membership. And the most common question we are receiving so far is, Does the home study course include the basic membership too? Yes, it does. If you have additional questions, just let us know at support@naww.org

Are you a woman writer who wants to change the world with her words? The NAWW is currently accepting book proposals for publishing under a new NAWW imprint called Butterfly Women Press. NAWW will choose at least one book per year to transform the world. We believe the world can indeed be changed one book at a time.

  • Submissions for our 2008 book will close March 31, 2008
  • Submissions for our 2009 release will close October 31, 2008

Q: When did you realize you wanted to be a writer?

A: I knew I wanted to be a writer in elementary school after completing a fourth and fifth grade project to write, illustrate, and bind your own book. I would go home and create books in my free time. I thought it was the best thing I’d ever been taught. I continued to write on and off in my teens–poetry, mostly–but became more serious about writing prose when I reached my late 20’s.

Q: How and when did you make this dream a reality?

A: I had been working on a young adult novel for 5 years, and had completed it at whopping 1100 pages. After working with an editor on it, I realized I needed to get some distance from it; and I put it on the shelf, for now. I needed a fresh project. I decided I wanted something that was new, uncomplicated and fun. After visiting with my little cousin, Laura for weeks, I knew I had found the character for the children’s book I wanted to write. It took about 4-5 months to complete Laura and the Leprechauns–the majority of the time being spent on illustrations. So, I’d have to say that the year of 2007 was when everything really came together for me as a writer as far as making my dream a reality.

To form and promote a writing group in your local area, follow the steps below–before long you will have an energetic passion support mechanism for your own words. Good Luck and Have Fun!
