Each year, OWFI collects new and gently used books for the “Books for Literacy” book drive at the conference. This program, started by Honorary Lifetime Member, Vivian Zabel, is a labor of love benefiting the Children’s Center Rehabilitation Hospital and the VA Hospital in Oklahoma City.

It’s that time again! We’re looking for 2025’s Honorable Lifetime Member, and that means we need your nominations.

Visit our HLM page to see who’s already made the list and to let us know who you think should be next!

OWFI has a long-standing tradition of extending membership and mission to incoming generations of writers. Help us define a minor’s policy to protect them and the organization.
