The Downtown Writers Network is a resource for independent writers in central Ohio.

Located in Columbus, we provide services to freelancers, businesses that use freelance talent, and all creative writers in the dynamic mid-Ohio market.

This Week's Writing Events:  February 7 - 13, 2010

The snows of February have arrived as they always seem to do, the week or so before Valentine's Day.

But dig the car out from under the mountain of snow left by the plow, pull your mukluks out of the cellophane before they scorch, and get down to Areopagitica Books next Saturday to celebrate your love of poetry at Kathy Fagan's all-day workshop for the Ohio Poetry Association.

Check out details at the Association website.

Visit our monthly calendar or our "This Week" page for more information on these events and lots of others
