🎉Happy Birthday Women Writing 🎉

Thanks to our dynamic founder, Mary Pierce Brosmer, September 5th marks 35 years of empowering people through writing & reflection.

Over the past 35 years, Women Writing has grown into a community that has reached far and wide-- creating life long friendships and inspiring thousands of writers to discover and share their bravest voice.

Celebrating Women Writing Bloomington!

✨Bounty of Words is Just Around the Corner!✨

There’s still time to join us for Bounty of Words—but ticket sales close this Friday, September 4!

On September 18, we’ll gather to celebrate the women, writers, readers, facilitators, supporters, and stories that make Women Writing for (a) Change so special.

The evening will include dinner, community, readers representing different parts of the Women Writing experience, exciting auction and raffle items, and inspiration from keynote speaker Jackie Congedo, CEO of the Holocaust & Humanity Center.

More than a fundraiser, Bounty of Words is a chance to come together and celebrate the community we’ve built—and the stories that connect us. Whether you’re a longtime member of Women Writing or someone who simply believes in the power of story, we hope you’ll join us.
