You know Destination ARTS! is a center for the visual and musical arts. Did you know we also cater to lovers of the written word as well?. Whether you are an accomplished, perhaps published author, or a novice looking for help, we offer an opportunity for you to share your ideas.

Everyone has a story or perhaps many stories but may never have written them down. Maybe you have always wanted to write, but lacked the courage to try, or have written some things and would like to know if others would find them interesting. Perhaps you are a parent or grandparent who would like to leave some auto-biographical stories for your children and grandchildren.

Maybe you would like advice on getting your work published. You may be a poet, an essayist, writer of short stories or perhaps just want to write a good speech or get something off your chest with a letter to the editor of your local newspaper. Whatever advice or encouragement you need, this might be the appropriate venue for you. If you already are a published author you might like to teach or be a mentor for aspiring writers.
