Hampton Roads Writers, volunteer nonprofit group, enriches the Hampton Roads' literary arts community by connecting, encouraging, and educating writers of all ages, talents, and genres. By creating literary events throughout southeastern Virginia, we serve as a community resource dedicated to help less experienced writers grow in their writing craft and possibly attain publication success.
Hampton Roads Writers is a Gold-level GuideStar Exchange participant, demonstrating its commitment to transparency. Click the Guidestar link to see how donations are used.
Donations are used only to pay professional writers for their workshop services during the Traveling Pen Workshops and annual conference, to maintain the website, to publicize our writers' conference, to offer a few partial and complete scholarships to HRW events to people who otherwise can not afford to attend, and to cover the cost of office supplies, web hosting, our PO Box and storage space, and insurance. HRW is an all-volunteer group of writers. Please consider JOINING HRW.

HRW members receive discounts on all of our Traveling Pen Writers' Workshops and at our annual writers' conference in September. Moreover, all HRW members receive a personal member page, on which they may display their writer's bio and publication credits.
Since 2008, Hampton Roads Writers has created exciting programs and partnerships throughout the Hampton Roads area. Through our annual literary conference, periodic writing events, open mics, workshops, our Website, e-newsletter, and partnerships with area literary and writing programs and with other cultural arts organizations, HRW is helping to increase Hampton Roads' visiblity within Virginia and nationally as a region with a vibrant literary arts community.
We seek to continue to develop and enrich literary events and literary education in Hampton Roads, partnering with local universities, businesses, and cultural institutions. The directors on the board, each committed to HRW's mission, plan and execute events carefully and with an eye toward civic responsibility, longevity, and growth.
Your yearly tax-deductible contribution will help HRW's mission to promote the craft of writing and the love of literature in our communities and beyond and to support Hampton Roads' growing standing as one of the nation's most attractive and culturally progressive communities in which to live and work.
If you would like more information or would like to arrange a meeting to discuss supporting Hampton Roads Writers, please contact Skip, at 757-639-6146 or HRWriters@cox.net.
We greatly appreciate your YEARLY, tax-deductible support of $35.00 or more. ($40 or more if you donate via PayPal). 100% of all donations go directly toward the implementation of programs and events that help writers at all levels improve their craft and/or achieve publication success. HRW does not pay members of either board and looks for ways to stretch every penny donated.
