Why Consider Joining CBW?

If your current situation fits one of the four descriptions below, you can benefit by joining the Chesapeake Bay Writers.
- I have always loved to write, but have had little time until now to seriously pursue the craft of writing, whether for pleasure or pay.
- I have had some success in writing, but now wish to pursue publication. I know what I want to write about, but need support, advice, critique and guidance from more experienced writers;
- I have completed a draft of my first novel (fiction) or book proposal (nonfiction) and seek help, advice and critique both to improve the work and to navigate successfully the best path to publication;
- I have one or more books published or self-published, but in this rapidly evolving world of publishing, marketing and media, need to learn of strategies and venues that will help ensure continued success.
