Valley of Writers

“The Pioneer Valley is arguably the most author-saturated,
book-cherishing, literature-celebrating place in the nation.”
– Roger Mummert (New York Times)

The Valley of Writers Project is a new initiative, begun to document and support literary endeavors in the Pioneer Valley of Western Massachusetts and to help build bridges between local writers and writers around the world.
