Welcome to the Writers of Chantilly!

The Writers of Chantilly (WoC) is a group of writers that meets at the public library in Chantilly, VA, twice a month to encourage our members and cultivate our skills.  Our blog will be a place for us to relate WoC news and events, as well as engage in discussions on writing and related topics.

We are a variety of writers who have little in common except a desire to write. We value one another’s friendship and insight. Some writers are new and some have been together for years. Some have a story that nobody else could tell. Like knights of old, we gather around a long table to talk and laugh and cry together. The past, present and future begin to blur as we listen to each writer’s words.We exchange fiction, nonfiction, essays, and poetry. Then we return to our daily, chaotic, or humdrum world feeling enriched, encouraged, and anxious to write more stories.


The blog will rotate between WoC members every three months.  Each new rotatee will bring new perspectives and sensibilities, so check in often to see what we're up to!
