Welcome!

Welcome to the web site of Women Writing the West®, a non-profit association of writers and other professionals writing and promoting the Women's West.

Your Writing Community Preserving the Women’s West

Our stories are set in the Western United States — past and present — but our organization considers the “West” as more than a geographic location. The West represents a way of thinking, a sense of adventure, a willingness to cross into a new frontier.

As our foremothers sought a new way of life in a new land, so have women in our own time crossed their own barriers to create something new and unique.

We invite you to become connected to our writing community by joining us in this adventure. Women Writing the West membership is open to all interested persons worldwide.
