The Greater Philadelphia Christian Writers Fellowship exists to help you respond to God's call to write. We want to come alongside to encourage and equip you to get your work in print. We are a Christ-centered fellowship with a strong emphasis on prayer and Bible study, but also on learning the craft of writing and marketing. We want to help you become an effective communicator of God's truth in both Christian and secular markets. Together we really can make a difference!

Our History

Marlene Bagnull  founded GPCWF in 1983 with a small group of Christian writers drawn by announcements they read in the newspaper. Since then we have met monthly (except in the summer) and sponsored four day-long seminars, six two-day conferences, and eight three-day conferences. I've often said that if I knew what God had planned I would have told Him, "I'm not qualified," and run the other way. But I'm so grateful I didn't. He really is able to do "exceedingly, abundantly beyond" (Eph. 3:20).
