Founded in 1991, The Berkshire Writers Room offers support and encouragement to writers of every type and background. Our growing membership includes writers who have been published and those who have not, would-be and professional writers, and those who simply write for pleasure. We are writers of nonfiction, poets and playwrights, journalists, technical writers, humorists, and eclectics. We meet monthly in small groups to share our work, to invite and offer constructive comment and reassurance.
We regularly hold meetings on the commercial aspects of the craft of writing. We publish The Berkshire Review annually. We host frequent open readings throughout Berkshire County as well as present other events. Our purpose is to grow, artistically and personally, to learn what we need to know to get our work published and read, and to celebrate the beauty of the written word in all its forms.
