wVw is a community of memoirists, poets, fiction writers, and story-tellers in the Hudson Valley region of New York state. We believe that everyone has a story, real or imagined, worthy of recording as written word.  wVw provides safe and structured writing practice for experienced and beginning writers. The Workshop experience is at the core of the wVw community. wVw is an affiliate of Amerherst Writers and Artists.

We write in a safe, respectful environment where writing can develop as your art.

wVw writers:

• Write in workshop
• Read to each other what we have just written, when we choose to do so
• Honor one another's work by listening deeply, giving each writer our full attention
• Respond to one another’s writing emphasizing what is strong and what we remember

We meet together for three hours. During that time, there are two writing, reading and response periods with a break for refreshments.
