✨ What We Do
We believe in the power of community and the magic that happens when creatives come together. Here’s a look at what you’ll find at TVWI:
✅ Monthly Meetings — Gather with fellow writers and illustrators to learn from guest speakers, industry experts, and one another. Our meetings feature workshops, panels, and presentations covering craft, publishing, marketing, and more.
✅ Monthly Middlers — These mid-month sessions dive deeper into trending topics and creative tools. Recent themes have included Artificial Intelligence for creatives, self-publishing insights, marketing your work, and more.
✅ Show Up & Write / Show Up & Draw — Accountability meetups designed to help you sit down, focus, and get the words or sketches out. Bring your current project and work alongside others in a supportive environment.
✅ Workshops & Classes — Specialized sessions with published authors, illustrators, editors, and other industry pros to hone your craft and expand your skills.
✅ Publications & Anthologies — We proudly publish member anthologies showcasing the incredible talent within our community. Every piece is paired with original illustrations, celebrating collaboration and storytelling in all forms.
✅ Special Events & Pop-Ups — We participate in local book fairs, art shows, and community events like CartoonAPaloozah — giving members a chance to showcase and sell their work, connect with readers, and celebrate local art and literature.
✅ Networking & Community — Beyond events, we’re a tight-knit network of creative people who lift each other up — sharing wins, feedback, resources, and opportunities all year long.
