Big Changes for 2010

The Milwaukee Writers Workshop has been a project of mine since August of 2006. After a degree in Creative Writing at UWM left me wanting for a community of writers outside of the university. Since its inception, MWW has grown from our small group of four writers to a growing organization that has -- roughly -- 10 meetings every month.

It's time for some changes, though.

As MWW expands to offer more services to the growing community of writers that have become part of the organization, it has become necessary to pay for more and more things. In order to do this -- and in order to begin looking for a permanent home for MWW and The JB Dryden Company -- we are going to begin offering paid memberships along with a variety of new services. As well, The Milwaukee Writers Workshop will officially become a division of The JB Dryden Company.

What does this mean for our writers?

All writers who are part of the organization are welcome to our free critique sessions. These are the same groups we've always had. We've put up a list of member services and the prices for the various memberships up on the MWW website. Visit www.milwaukeewritersworkshop.com/content/mww-memberships for details on our new memberships and services.

Our Mission

The Milwaukee Writers Workshop has a single mission: we are a free, multi-faceted writers group for those of you who have made writing a part of your life. We focus on developing your craft, improving your material, and supporting your pursuit of publishing.

The goal of the JB Dryden Company is to provide professional editing for all styles of writing and a range of projects.

The JB Dryden Company believes that we will better be able to service the writing community of Milwaukee and its metro area by combining these two separate goals. It is our hope that in the coming months we will be able to implement new seminars, workshops, and classes in order to better serve. Our goal, as it has been for years, is to make good writing better, and we believe that we are better able to do that by building a strong community managed by a company with a strong writing background.

To all those who have been a part of MWW, we thank you. We are always eager to hear from our members (both current and potential) to hear how we might improve our services. Feel free to Contact Us to ask questions, offer suggestions, or request more information.
