James River Writers (JRW) builds community by connecting, supporting, and inspiring writers and lovers of the written word in central Virginia and beyond. We provide programming year-round to help writers at all skill levels develop their craft as well as the business side of their work. In addition to our signature event, the Annual James River Writers Conference, we offer Master Classes, a Writing Show panel discussion series, on-demand Encore! classes, and opportunities to socialize and connect through our monthly Writers Wednesday events. Explore all of our offerings in the Programs dropdown in the menu above (or simply scroll down for our upcoming programs), and make a plan to invest in your writing!
