Welcome! Capital Christian Writers is an organization of Christian professional and non-professional writers who meet in Northern Virginia for seminars and encouragement. Members hail from a wide band of the tri-state area, including Shenandoah Valley, Richmond, and Baltimore. Meetings are held the second Monday in Jan, Mar, May, July, Sep, and Nov.

Previous speakers include: Dr. Harry Kraus, surgeon/suspense author; Melanie Rigney, editor, Writer's Digest magazine, Os Guinness, author; David Aikman, journalist and author; Dick Schneider, Senior Staff Editor of Guideposts magazine; Roger Palms, former editor of Decision magazine; David Yount, syndicated columnist, and literary agent Tamela Hancock Murray of Hartline Literary Agency.

Our Number One Goal: Every Member Published! We want you to earn those clips and win those awards! Along the way, we want to get to know you, and encourage you. Writing is a solitary pursuit without the fellowship of other Christians.
