STARTING A STATE HALL

Would you like to start a Writers Hall of Fame in your state? Writers Hall of Fame® of America is seeking persons or organizations who share a passion for writing to form Writers Halls of Fame in other states. These Writers Halls of Fame will be modeled after our first state hall— Writers Hall of Fame® of America/Missouri State Hall.

If you or someone you know is interested in starting a state hall to recognize, encourage and inspire the joy of writing, please contact us. Not only will we help you get organized, we will also provide you with a complete manual that answers all your questions and will guide you through the process with a minimum of effort and struggles. You can induct your own great writers and inspire new writers in your state to become the great writers of the next generation.

To start this process, please complete and submit the online Start A State Hall form or download, complete and mail the printed form (104K, .pdf).
