The Eastern Shore Writers Association


For over forty years ESWA, a nonprofit, volunteer organization has been supporting writers and the literary arts across the Delmarva Peninsula and the Eastern Shore of Maryland.
We welcome members to share experiences with other writers about every facet of converting ideas, sentiment, and opinions into the spoken and printed word. We are poets, novelists, and writers of stories, essays, articles, and memoirs. Members write fiction and nonfiction for the page, the stage, and the screen.  Some are editors, small publishers, and professional writers; many others have day jobs and write when they can, often at night and over the weekends. Some write for the simple pleasure of the process, others write for publication.  Many of our members have been awarded prizes, grants, residencies, and fellowships for their work. Whatever your reason for writing, ESWA provides a richly supportive community.

The Eastern Shore Writers Association serves and assists its members in their educational and literary pursuits–serving professional, aspiring and amateur writers in various creative forms and media. ESWA also serves the greater Delmarva community by providing a robust network for the advancement of the literary arts and literacy in general in our region.
