Writing Club Membership

Bring your writing club into a wider community across Scotland.
If you are a member of a writers’ group and you would like to be part of a bigger movement throughout Scotland then why not consider joining The Scottish Association of Writers? For over 50 years we have been at the forefront of bringing writing clubs together.
We are a not-for-profit organisation whose aim is to promote and encourage creative writing in every community throughout Scotland. Being part of SAW would allow your club and its members a chance to be part of our conference and competitions each year.
Contact our development officer to find out how you can be part of this organisation, or complete the application below.
