What are some of the benefits of membership?

  • Networking opportunities
  • Access to critique groups

  • Thrice-yearly print newsletter
  • Access to "Members Only" section of website

There are many more benefits, but these are just a few.

How do I become a member?

There are several ways to join OCW. You can join online (see below), or you can print out a membership form and mail it with your check for the dues to the address provided. You may also become a member at the time you register for one of our one-day conferences. In addition to your membership dues, you would then pay the member fee of $8 to attend the one-day conference.

Or if you want to see what we’re all about, you can attend one of our one-day conferences as a non-member, paying the non-member fee of $30 to register. If, by the end of the day, you decide to join OCW, the $30 will be applied toward your initial membership dues. You will end up paying the equivalent of your dues and an $8 meeting fee.

Regardless of how—or when—you join, you will be asked to sign our statement of faith, indicating that you agree with it. Members are asked to sign their agreement with the statement of faith each time they renew their membership.

How much does membership cost?

Membership costs are as follows:

  • Single membership (under 62): $18
  • Couples membership: $24
  • Full-time student membership: $12
  • Senior membership (62 & over): $12

Your membership will expire on October 1, 2010.

Writing Conferences

Writer's Prayer - May 2010

Heavenly Father, Almighty Savior, God of Truth, we praise You. As we remember Your holy Word, we bow before You. Jesus is the Living Word who came into the world to do for us what we couldn’t do for ourselves.

His Word encourages us. “In the beginning [before all time] was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself” (John 1:1 Amplified).

OCW Doctrine

Founded in 1963, we are an organization of writers, both amateur and professional, who are Christians. Our members write for both ministry and markets, and subscribe to this doctrine:

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell; the third day He arose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic (universal) church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.

OCW’s doctrinal statement is the Apostles' Creed, to which our presenters adhere. Our aim is to glorify God and to help writers grow in their craft. OCW does not necessarily endorse the theological opinions expressed by its presenters in print or spoken word.
