Calling all lovers of creative writing!
The Association of Writers & Writing Programs is located right here in Fairfax and hosts volunteer events near George Mason University.
We provide many different opportunities for you to serve our members and donors, learn about creative writing programs and opportunities, work in the field of arts management, and get to know other local writers.
All skillsets are needed, from those familiar with data entry to those willing to stuff envelopes, research degree information, or write handwritten thank you notes to our members.
We provide a free annual subscription to our magazine, the Writer's Chronicle, to volunteers who work with us at least three evenings a year.
We need you! Please contact Diane Zinna, Director of Membership Services, at diane@awpwriter.org to join us or to set up a time that works with your schedule.

Mission Statement
AWP's mission is to foster literary achievement, advance the art of writing as essential to a good education, and serve the makers, teachers, students, and readers of contemporary writing.
Description
AWP provides community to thousands of individual novelists, short story writers, essayists, nonfiction writers, and poets. Henry James wrote that the essence of his craft as a writer was loneliness--more profound than discipline or genius. As it was for James, so solitude remains the home base for many writers. AWP seeks to provide a community for those pursuing our lonely art, providing support, advocacy, and a multitude of resources for the journey.
AWP also serves 550 college and university creative writing programs and 125 writers’ conferences and centers. These programs can be found in our online Guide to Creative Writing Programs and our Directory of Conferences & Centers at www.awpwriter.org.
