Welcome

I started Creative Writers Network out of a desire for a writers group within which I felt comfortable and could grow as a writer. I longed for a sense of community with others who are similar in temperament, understand the challenges and share the joy I feel for writing, exploring and expressing creativity.

As a member of Ryze I'd joined several writers networks that didn’t really suit me. My inner voice began urging me to create my own network. I was even given the name, Creative Writers Network. The idea seemed so obvious to me. However, my searches revealed nothing close to what I envisioned. Still, I’d never led a network and wasn’t sure I was ready.

One day, I received an email from a friend, expressing the same disenchantment. I mentioned this crazy idea I’d been chasing around for the past few weeks about starting my own network. My idea was met with encouragement and I thought, okay, why not?

Within an hour Creative Writers Network was born. The network sprang to life with dynamic activity. Today nearly 500 talented writers from around the world have joined. We have become a community of friends and kindred spirits who appreciate and find joy in sharing the writing life.
