Welcome to the Wordos

The Wordos are a Eugene-Oregon based group of writers who meet once a week (currently via Zoom) to critique stories and discuss the art, craft, and business of writing. Our goals are to help each other produce fiction that will sell, and to continually improve our writing abilities.

Many published writers have made their first sale as members of the Wordos, with stories that went through the workshop. Wordos members have won major awards, including the Nebula, the Stoker, and Writers of the Future.

Although many of the group's members write science fiction and fantasy, we do not focus exclusively on those genres. Our members also write romance, mystery, horror, and just about any other type of fiction for which someone will pay. We predominantly critique short fiction.

If you live in the Eugene area (interpret that as you wish--some of our members hail from Portland, California, and Canada!) and you are interested in seriously pursuing your writing, email us.

For more information, read our FAQ and contact us. You're welcome to schedule a visit and see how we do things and to pursue membership if you think we're the right group for you.

Thanks for stopping by.
