MIssion and Vision Statements

The vision for the Crossroads Author Consortium is to bring together a group of authors on Writing.Com who are committed to the art and craft of writing. Because they are authors, they write and have active portfolios on Writing.com. Our group will be diverse in all the usual ways, but will also be diverse in their artistic vision and in their understanding of craft. Our group will share the conviction that diversity in all its forms expands our horizons, deepens our understandings, and enriches our lives and our creations. Our group will learn from each other. Our grouip will serve each other and the broader Writing.Com community. Our group will engage in serious conversations about writing, and will provide in-depth, helpful, and respectful feedback to author requests.
