“The Pikes Peak Branch of the National League of American Pen Women Inc. was organized in November 1954. The group’s Charter was granted in December 1955. They offer workshops, seminars, and contests. Members share market tips and news, techniques and helpful criticisms. Members work in advertising and public relations, create commercial and fine art, and hold one-woman juried shows.”
“The International Women’s Writing Guild, founded in 1976, is a network for the personal and professional empowerment of women through writing and open to all regardless of portfolio. As such, it has established a remarkable record of achievement in the publishing world, as well as in circles where lifelong learning and personal transformation are valued for their own sake. The Guild nurtures and supports holistic thinking by recognizing the logic of the heart–the ability to perceive the subtle interconnections between people, events and emotions- alongside conventional logic.”
“The Poetry Society of Colorado (PSC), a non-profit organization, was chartered in Denver in 1921. It has an eighty-eight year history of promoting the art of poetry in the metropolitan Denver area and throughout Colorado. We are a society of creative writers devoted to the art of poetry, meeting monthly in workshops to hone our skills. Visitors are welcome at workshop meetings. PSC sponsors a number of contests each year. The Quarterly Contests are open to members only. All other contests are open and are offered on a rotation basis.”
