 The North Carolina Writers’ Network West (Netwest) is a chapter of NCWN and members of the Network automatically become members of Netwest if they live in Clay, Cherokee, Graham, Macon, Swain, Jackson, Transylvania, Haywood, and Henderson Counties in North Carolina, as well as bordering counties in South Carolina, North Georgia and East Tennessee. Approximately seventy writers in these areas participate in the numerous Netwest events. Netwest offers support and encouragement through critique groups, classes, workshops, readings, and other programs. The Program Coordinator keeps members abreast of literary events through email and the Netwest blog www.netwestwriters.blogspot.com where the work of excellent writers, poets and playwrights are posted along with photos and bios.
 Representatives of Netwest serve in each of the nine North Carolina counties and in South Carolina and Georgia. The Program Coordinator and the representatives communicate through the Netwest Yahoo e-group and by email. Representatives are free to hold workshops, meetings and readings with the support of the leadership of Netwest.
 Serving as Netwest Consultants are former Program Coordinator Nancy Simpson and NC Poet Laureate Kathryn Stripling Byer. The e-group monitor is past Program Coordinator Shirley Uphouse. Glenda Beall is the current Program Coordinator.
Netwest seeks to serve diverse cultures, and sponsors writing events for students. |
