BAPWG
Welcome to the Bay Area Professional Writers Guild

Members continually enhance their own professional development through networking, informative speaker meetings, and a team approach to problem solving and marketing strategies.

Please note: BAPWG is an organization of nonfiction, freelance, professional-level writers. It is not a "writers club" for fiction or poets. Guests are invited on the assumption that they will qualify for membership (see our Join BAPWG page for more information) and are permitted up to three visits before they must submit a membership application with professional writing proofs for review by the Executive Board.

YOU Benefit from BAPWG!
Some people mistakenly believe that quality is unaffordable. The difference between employing talented, experienced people and "saving money" is that experience equals profit—the power that knowing subtleties, nuances, using the right words, and the productive ways of accomplishing goals provides. That leads to successes such as improving your company's profit or image, making clear and useful operational documents, creating comprehensible training documents for your staff or customers.

Who needs the right words?
You do. We can help. Visit our List of Specialties and our Member Directory to see which of our members can best meet your needs.
