The Fountain Writers Society

The Fountain Writers Society (FWS) is an institution aiming to bring writers together, both published and aspiring, to share their experiences and ideas with other like-minded individuals. The Society provides information, support, and exposure to new and experienced writers, both in the United States and abroad.
