WRITERS' VILLAGE - TODAY

Writers' Village University is run by Bob Hembree (site owner and founder) with a team of dedicated volunteers and has been operating as a paid membership site since January 1998.  We currently offer a wide variety of courses to over 2,500 members.

At the writersvillage.com campus, members find over 200 courses in the craft of writing.  In 1999 others joined Bob in the development and running of additional courses.  The existing Fiction and Literature courses have been joined by four new divisions: Business of Writing, Comedy Writing, Non-Fiction and Poetry.   

In addition to the members area, the course "F2K" is offered free to anyone with internet access at http://fiction.4-writers.com.  This course offers an introduction to the craft of writing fiction and provides a sample of how courses at the Village are run.  A dedicated team of mentors assists students new to the course, and possibly new to the online learning experience, as they go through this six-week course.

We also publish the online "T-Zero Xpandizine" monthly.  Featuring regular columns, contests and showcasing short pieces from talented writers, our webzine is sent out to approximately 27,000 subscribers monthly.

Our staff team, a group of dedicated volunteers, has grown to meet the ever-increasing demands as the site has grown and changed.  To see more about our organization, follow the Organizational Overview link.
