Join the NCWN

The North Carolina Writers’ Network is open to all writers, working in all genres, at all levels of skill and experience, all across this state, and beyond. You do not have to be published, unpublished, or a North Carolinian (by birth or residence) to join the North Carolina Writers’ Network.

NCWN staff will process your membership as soon as possible, and will send you an e-mail with instructions for logging into the website.

The Network is North Carolina’s foremost and best-organized writers’ group.
