NOVA Writing Events
When I launched it in late 2019, NOVA Writing Events was an event calendar which covered all author events in Virginia and Maryland. Then COVID-19 happened, and the calendar went on hiatus and was removed to conserve resources.
I want to bring that calendar back one day, but for now here is a list of organizations in this region which hold author events.
Note: This page is a work in progress. I will continue to add more info as time goes by.
Writing Clubs
Between the two state writing clubs, RWA, and Sisters in Crime, you would not beleive how many local writing clubs there are.
- Riverside Writers (Virginia Writers Club)
- Write by the Rails (Virginia Writers Club)
- Northern Virginia Writers Club (Virginia Writers Club)
- Maryland Writers Association
- Chessie Chapter (Sisters in Crime)
- Virginia Romance Writers (RWA)
- Washington Romance Writers (RWA)
- Maryland Romance Writers (RWA)
SF Cons
There are many SF cons in this region where authors can connect with fans and other authors. A few of the cons include:
Libraries
Many libraries in our area hosted events for authors before COVID. As things return to normal, they will again.
- Central Rappahannock Regional Library
- Prince William Public Libraries
- Alexandria Library
- Arlington County Public Library
- Loudoun County Public Library
- Fairfax County Public Library
- Fauquier County Public Library
- Library of Congress
- DC Public Library
You can find a more complete list of public libraries in VA and MD here and here.
Writing Orgs
There were several independent groups in the region which supported authors before COVID, and there will be more in the future. Some of these groups include:
- The Writer Center
- Fredericksburg Independent Book Festival
- Hanover Book Expo
- Washington Area Lawyer for the Arts
If you know of a group which should be added to this page, please don’t hesitate to contact me!
