The Northwest Christian Writers Association (NCWA) was founded on April 24, 1990, as a nonprofit board-governed support organization for Christian writers.
Our Mission
The Northwest
Christian Writers Association exists to empower, equip, and connect writers to
honor God through writing.
In fulfilling this mission, we
- Develop our writing skills. Fiction, nonfiction, magazine articles, devotionals, websites ... whatever we write, we want to do it with excellence.
- Teach others. We offer critique, encouragement, networking, and training for writers of all experience levels.
- Encourage each other to love God more deeply and know Him more fully. We strive to please Him with our prose, but our measure of success in the end is if have glorified God. We believe the story of life is not about us, but about Him.
Our Membership
NCWA members come from all over the Puget Sound area and range in age from teens to octogenarians.
Our membership includes authors who have sold millions of books and beginners sticking their proverbial toe in the writing ocean for the first time. We're homemakers, retirees, full-time writers, students, and moonlighting writers with full-time careers.
Whether you're a veteran writer or are exploring the arena of writing for the first time, you'll fit right in.
In September, and sometimes January, we meet on the second Monday due to holidays. We take July and August off.
