Welcome to our new subscribers and columnists, Mary Swander and Chuck Offenburger. The Iowa Writers’ Collaborative members are journalists and authors who care about their state and the people who live here.
We believe there is a growing interest in original commentary and feature stories by professional writers in Iowa. As legacy newspapers shrink and disappear, we feel compelled to saddle up and work to fill the void.
As our columnist ranks grow, you will discover a variety of Iowa voices. Some well-known and others we think you will want to read. In our ranks are hard-hitting opinion writers, storytellers, a poet, and a playwright. Oh yeah, and a Pulitzer Prize winner.
