The New OWC Website

Oregon Writers Colony has a new website and a new way of doing things. Take a fresh look at www.oregonwriterscolony.org and see how much is here for you and your writing.

At the Events pages, it’s easier to find the workshop you need to give your writing a boost. You can now use Paypal to register for workshops and conferences and the Mentor in the House Program. You still may pay by check and mail us a registration form found on the website – your choice.

Encourage your writing friends to join, using the member application. Been a member for six months? Then take a look at your opportunity to use Colonyhouse, OWC’s writers retreat. See what other writers have to say about Colonyhouse.

See Member News to learn about fellow members’ writing success. Send your writing news to orwriterscolony@gmail.com, so we can celebrate with you. You can also send us a photo of your publication cover and a link to your website. We’ll put you in our Books by Members page.

Under Member Resources, you can read book reviews of published books authored by fellow members. The reviews are written by OWC members. You can offer to be one of our reviewers, too. If you have a published book, let us know you’d like us to find someone to review it. Email us at orwriterscolony@gmail.com.

You can also participate in the Writer’s Place Blog – writers writing about marketing, editing, character and plot development, synopsis writing, the search for agents and editors  – whatever writing topic you want to discuss.

Plus,  look at a new opportunity to go nation-wide in your search for home, health and other products you need at www.marketamerica.com/owc . This is Oregon Writers Colony’s portal into the non-profit sector of a twenty-year-old online shopping mall – probably the oldest and biggest community of familiar and fresh, and large and small stores. When you shop at Market America, each of you – each shopper receives cash back for every purchase. And when you buy through our MA portal, Market America supports Oregon Writers Colony, too.

So search through our new website. Discover what Oregon Writers Colony can do for your writing life. Meet other writers as you participate in the OWC blog, book reviews, member news and the many workshops and events designed for your writing career.

And if you are enjoying the new look and the new ease of navigation, thank our friend Bill Cameron, author of the gripping mystery County Line. Bill put his artistic eye to work for OWC members and visitors. He’s done a lot of work to make www.oregonwriterscolony.org a great site to visit.
