Become a COFW Member!

COFW membership is a rolling year based on when you join. Price is $50 per year, or $25 if you are a student. Members must renew in the anniversary month of their joining to retain access to the members-only Facebook group and email list-serve. A grace period is extended to the end of the month after that. All members must be at least 18 years old.

We encourage prospective members to join us at two meetings of their choice to decide if membership can help you on your writing journey. We continue to offer our meetings in a hybrid format–both by Zoom and alternating between the Dayton area in odd months, and the Columbus area in the even months. If you are interested in attending in person, check our home page for where we are meeting next, and what our program is. If you are interested in attending via Zoom, then please email cofwpresident@gmail.com. The link is typically created a few days before the meeting.
