— Franz Kafka


Past Programs
Every month, BVWG hosts a meeting for its general membership at the West Chester Friends Meeting House at 425 N. High Street (on the corner of High and Marshall Streets) in West Chester , PA. In addition to conducting in-house panel discussions and our annual Critique Night, we've hosted guest speakers ranging from authors and freelance professionals to newspaper editors and agents.
