Sponsoring the Virginia Writers Club 2025 Symposium
The Virginia Writers Club (VWC), founded in 1918, is one of the oldest organizations of its kind in the United States. Comprised of chapters throughout the Commonwealth, the Virginia Writers Club is dedicated to fostering the art, craft, business and advocacy of the literary arts.
In 2025 VWC will host its fifteenth annual Symposium: Ink and Inspiration. This one-day symposium will take place Saturday, August 2, 2025, at Randolph-Macon College in Ashland, Virginia, and will feature workshops on topics related to the art, craft and business of writing for writers of all levels.
Sponsoring the symposium is a fun and impactful way to promote literacy in the Commonwealth as well as offer the attendees information about goods, services, and opportunities for writers and those interested in writing.
