What is AWE?
The Asheville Writing Enthusiasts group is dedicated to helping writers
improve their writing while helping other writers do the same. The first
meeting was held February 16 with 11 members, including award-wining
author, teacher and AWE Director David Pereda. The group is a regional affiliate of the FWA.
Besides providing a supportive network, our goals include sponsoring an
annual writing contest and hosting speakers from the writing and publishing industries.
Check out the photos from our April meeting and fiesta party!
