A place for writing professionals to connect, find and give encouragement, support each other's goals and set new ones. 

Walter Wellesley "Red" Smith said "there's nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and open a vein." Perhaps true. As happy many of us are to 'go it alone,' however, support and camaraderie of others who speak a similar language can't hurt.

WPLA caters to novelists, journalists, bloggers, poets and other writers who take their craft and career in writing seriously. If this description suits you and you'd like on-going support from friends with similar goals, please join us!
