OFTB Welcomes NC Writers’ Network
One For The Books is honored to officially represent North Carolina Writers' Network, which has created and nurtured a statewide writing community since 1985.
NC Writers’ Network believes that writing can connect people across time, distance, and difference; that writing with integrity is necessary for civic discourse and a healthy society; and that the deeply satisfying experiences of writing and reading should be available to everyone.
The North Carolina Writers’ Network connects, promotes, and serves the writers of this state through an equitable, diverse and inclusive lens. They provide education in the craft and business of writing, opportunities for recognition and critique of literary work, resources for writers at all stages of development, support for and advocacy of the literary heritage of North Carolina, and a community for those who write.
One For The Books (OFTB) will act as agency of record for NCWN, and provide the organization with communications and marketing strategy.
