ANWA Chapters

ANWA has chapters located in Arizona, Alabama, Nevada, Texas, Utah, and Washington State. We also consider forming new chapters. Most—but not all—chapters meet monthly during the evening hours. Days and times stated below are subject to change. Always verify before you visit a chapter meeting.

ANWA is for LDS women writers.

You may visit an ANWA chapter one or two times to see if we are right for you. If you wish to continue attending meetings after two visits, you are required to join ANWA. For information about meetings, please send your name, phone number, and e-mail address to anwa@anwa-lds.com or mail them to ANWA Membership Secretary Marsha Ward at HC 2 Box 107P, Payson AZ 85541. If you live in the Phoenix metropolitan area, please include your major cross streets. Either Marsha or a chapter officer will contact you. Thank you for your interest in ANWA.

Two or more ANWA members in an area may petition the ANWA Presidency for permission and instructions in order to form an ANWA chapter. You must join ANWA before you request this permission. The Presidency will appoint a leader to organize the chapter. For information or instructions for chapter organization, e-mail anwa@anwa-lds.com.
