All Writers Online Workshop (AWOW)
Beginnings
Kimberly Moravec and Charlie Hilliard were/are a part of the DFW Writer's Workshop. For a short period the DFWWW offered zoom to its members as well as hybrid. However, the officers decided to move in a different direction. We loved the idea of zoom and (with a grant from the DFWWW) we formed AWOW to accommodate those who cannot come in person to the DFWWW. Although we are not a part of DFWWW, they are the beginnings of this workshop.
Our Vision
We wanted this workshop to provide accessibility to those who needed/wanted an online workshop.
Goals
We have created an active and engaging writing community. The membership will be the ones that help shape this organization. We want to continue holding meetings twice a week for the foreseeable future, with holidays off. We have an active forum that we wish to grow where members can read and critique each other's work.
​
We are actively working to find new ways to create further accessibility to writers. Currently, we do online meetings and put the writing up on the screen for everyone to see. We want to continue to become more and more inclusive.
