<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;Times New Roman";">Fox Valley Writers is a community dedicated to
the idea of helping writers of all skill levels connect and grow with one
another. Often cited as the writers' group for those who don't care for
traditional writing groups, we use a combination of imaginative exercises,
personal attention to each author's needs, and positive, constructive feedback
from peers to empower ourselves to create and share our best stories, memoirs,
essays, and poetry. <br>
<br>
Our hybrid meetings are simultaneously in-person and live on Zoom.
