Welcome! Our channel features interviews with top authors, writing agents and other writing professionals.
We welcome professional and aspiring writers as well as non-writing Friends amongst our membership. Men are also very welcome as members.
The SWWJ is the UK's longest-established Society for professional women writers. It is an international association, affiliated to women's associations worldwide. Our president is Dame Floella Benjamin, but we have had the privilege of the involvement of great women such as Victoria Wood, Joyce Grenfell, Vera Brittain, Clemence Dane and Nina Bawden. Men are also involved, including patrons Sir Tim Rice and Simon Brett and, in the past, George Bernard Shaw.
We are a non political society. We recognise the professional skills of our members and we protect their interests. We promote opportunities for women to write and to be heard, and we defend their rights to do so no matter what their race, religion or geographic location.
