Café Muse Literary Salon Online is your ticket to our monthly programs that you previously may have experienced at The Writer’s Center in Bethesda, Maryland.
Because of social restrictions due to the coronavirus pandemic, we are now gathering nationally via Zoom. Register and join us for Café Muse and Poets vs the Pandemic. They are free programs.
Celebrate with Us!
We can hardly believe it, but The Word Works is celebrating its Golden Anniversary!
Thanks to a robust community of authors, readers, editors, and board members, the press has flourished through thick and thin.
The past couple of decades have been devoted to expanding the inclusiveness and diversity of the press, while remaining omnivorous in our tastes: all styles and every voice is valued.
Please donate to help create a solid future, to sustain our mission for the next 50 years. Support our books, our reading series with any amount you wish.
For donations of $50 or more, you’ll receive our infamous Poet Hat.
Or you can receive a thank you of five recent books with free shipping when you donate $100. What a steal!
