I just joined a writing association called The International Womens Writing Guild (IWWG). The organization is dedicated to nurturing and helping women writers.  It seems looks like a great way to network with like-minded peers and learn more about the craft.  If you’re a woman writer 18 and older, you may want to check out the organization.  Membership is $55.00 for one year and $110.00 for 2 years.
