"I have taken weekly workshops through Portland Women Writers for the last few years now.  It is the touchstone of my week.   I have been writing for a long time and have been in many different styles of writing groups and writing programs, and this is the most supportive one I have experienced.  I have come home to my own voice while being in these groups because they are both nurturing and alive--great places to grow writing.  And they are so skillfully facilitated.   I can’t recommend them enough." 
 Birch Dwyer, May 2013
