Northwest Arkansas Writers
The Northwest Arkansas Writers Workshop is a group of people who enjoy writing for fun and profit. Our members come from many different walks of life and present a varied set of views on the world and everything in it.

This variety is evidenced by the stories that are shared within the workshops themselves. We are delighted by the characters we meet, as we hear them come to life.

If you would like a little more delight in your life, may we suggest you contact one of our members? The characters they create may be exactly what you've been looking for. Just click on the Members button to the left to begin your journey. We hope it will be as much fun for you as it is for us!

Fifteen year NWA Writers Workshop member Lynn Carney has passed away.


It is with great sorrow we announce the passing of Lynn Carney. Lynn was a member of Ozarks Writers League and of the Northwest Arkansas Writers Workshop for fifteen years. An accomplished writer, her short story "Shores of Oblivion" appeared in the 2007 Voices Anthology and was nominated for the Pushcart Prize that year. She is survived by her husband, Mark Tankersly, her son Jeremy, and his wife. Our thoughts and prayers are with them all. She will be missed.

There will be a memorial service for Lynn at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Fayetteville on Tuesday, Dec. 1 at 10 a.m.

Cards and/or condolences can be sent to:
Mark Tankersly
2321 Briarwood Lane
Fayetteville, AR 72703
