Willamette Writers Meetings are Free and Open to the Public! Our mission at Willamette Writers is to help writers find their community, develop their craft, and expand their careers. We do that through meetings, workshops, critiques, and conversations. You can find out what’s happening at our events calendar. You are welcome to drop in on any online or in-person meeting or workshop. We would love you to join our community.
