What We Do

The objectives of the CBW are to further the craft of writing, to provide members with opportunities for connecting and exchanging ideas with others who share similar interests, to assist and encourage members in their efforts to achieve their writing-related goals, and to offer educational and informative programs about writing and marketing finished works.

The Chesapeake Bay Writers is a non-profit membership-based writing community where individuals come to enhance their writing skills, explore various genres, and connect with other writers. We offer a supportive environment for writers of all levels to learn and grow.

We offer a variety of opportunities for our members to get involved in the writing community. From attending workshops and webinars to hosting events, there are many ways to connect with other writers and enhance your skills.

The Virginia Writers Club
A state wide organization to support and stimulate the art, craft, and business of writing, as well as advocate the literary arts in the broader Virginia community.

CBW is a chapter of the Virginia Writers Club. Membership in CBW, however, does not constitute membership in the VWC. You have to join that separately. If you wish to participate in the Golden Nib Contest, you must be a member of both organizations. You can join the VWC on their website.
