AWA is an international community of writing workshop leaders committed to the belief that a writer is someone who writes and that every writer has a unique voice. AWA trains writers to become workshop leaders so that they affirm that commitment in every AWA workshop, with novice writers who have been led to believe they have no voice and with experienced writers who want to hone their craft.
All AWA workshops are guided by AWA's Five Essential Affirmations and follow the AWA Method.
We invite you to join our community of writers and workshop leaders.
AWA sponsors the Annual Pat Schneider Poetry Contest.
