Field Works is an organization for writers by writers. We are dedicated to working with writers of all levels and experiences and commit to supporting every individual as they hone their voice, their practice, and their craft.
“For it would seem…that we write, not with the fingers, but with the whole person.” ~ Virginia Woolf
This means we write with the body, the brain, the heart. At Field Works, we believe that lived experience matters and that a writer is a writer is simply someone who writes.
