An Announcement from the Members of the Board of Friends of Writers
We mourn the loss of our dear friend, fellow board member, and visionary, Ellen Bryant Voigt (1943-2025) and we celebrate her long service to creating and supporting writing communities. As stewards of Ellen’s legacy, we hold close her commitment to Friends of Writers: that we champion integrity and excellence in writing while nurturing the communities writers belong to.
