Conejo Valley Writers

Conejo Valley Writers Conejo Valley Writers seeks to bond and strengthen its writer-members in their desire to become better writers.

We are here to help our members discover how to write at the top of their form, to edit their work to near-perfection, to get published, and to then encourage them to repeat the write-edit-publish formula over and over. This Group is open to both published and unpublished writers whose writing interests might be expressed across a wide range of formats and genres.
