The mission of the Castle Rock Writers includes, but is not limited to, providing education and support to aspiring and published writers in our region and beyond. The group does this through monthly workshops that provide manuscript work-shopping or speaker workshops, as well as through an annual writers’ conference.
Our vision is to provide stimulating writing experiences for Colorado writers. We work to accomplish our vision by providing:
- tools for acquiring and strengthening creative skills for the written word;
- insight into and opportunities to engage with the publishing industry;
- possibilities for networking growth;
- constructive criticism to individuals and their presented work; and
- resources for adolescent, student, and adult writers.
Our values/core beliefs:
We will honor our participants/members by recognizing their needs for a variety of informational forums and resources.
We will honor the voices of our participants/members by only allowing constructive and supportive parameters for our critique groups.
We will provide a high value conference for a reasonable fee that will address various mainstream genre interests and industry trends.
We will keep overhead low in order to deliver a higher value to our members.
We will continuously educate ourselves on the art and craft of writing.
