Neshaminy: The Bucks County Literary Journal
“The secret of good writing is to say an old thing a new way
or to say a new thing in an old way.”
[Richard Harding Davis]
| ABOUT THE BCWW
NEW MEMBERS WITH A SERIOUS WRITING INTEREST ARE WELCOME. Since 1998, the independent, non-profit BCWW in historic Bucks County, PA, has advanced the power of the written word in fiction, memoir, and creative non-fiction in a friendly, supportive atmosphere. It does not work with poetry. The BCWW's only aim is to critique members' writing with the goal of publication.
There are no dues or membership fees.
We meet twice monthly on Tuesday evenings via Zoom.
The workshop may not be right for every aspiring writer, but if interested in becoming a member contact Don Swaim sharing your background and experience.
