CELESTIAL CONNECTION

What are you waiting for?
Today is the first day of the rest of your writing life ... reach for the stars!
Have questions about how to get started, how to get published, or how to help someone else?

That's what we're here for -- to help ourselves -- and each other.
Welcome to the Celestial Connection!

What IS the Celestial Connection?
"Reach for the stars" -- and connect with other worlds -- meaning each other! We are all like small, but not insignificant, individual worlds. At times our polarizations keep us apart, but we must strive to work together to form an alliance ... that's where Women Writers Worldwide can help ~ to bridge the gap between worlds, cultures and mores.

Although monthly meetings are not part of the schedule, the Celestial Connection will keep you in touch with the writing community through the Internet and with writers' events, both produced by Women Writers Worldwide and through partnerships with others (watch for 2008 events). Writer-friendly links offer resources and services/businesses that support writers.
