High Country Writers organization was founded in 1995 to lend support to aspiring writers in the High Country of North
Carolina. Since that time it has grown from a group of half a dozen, focusing specifically on romance writing, to an
organization of over fifty members, actively pursuing some form of written expression.
Our goal remains to work toward and achieve publication for all our members who desire publication. Examine the links
on our Members Page to get a better idea of our success in this area.
