"The Skagit Valley Writers League is a northwest Washington organization that has drawn creative people together for more than six decades. They gather in search of inspiration, encouragement and friendship, and they cover a wide spectrum. Some seek to sell their first articles or poems or perhaps even their first book. Most, however, already are publishing veterans. Some, in fact, have written books that sell hundreds of thousands of copies. As members of the Writers League, these people come together not as competitors but as colleagues, to share hard-won professional skills and to boost each other's opportunities for success." Robert Mottram
