Words Matter Week Begins Today!

March 5, 2023 2 Comments

Words Matter Week, which is in its 15th year, is a holiday that is celebrated annually the first full week in March by the National Association of Independent Writers and Editors.

Words are the basis for communication, no matter the language spoken. Babies make sounds, which eventually are formed into words. Here at NAIWE, we know the importance of words, and we want to celebrate it!

We may only celebrate it for a week, but we believe in the importance of words all year long!

 

Spread the Word

Join us in promoting Words Matter Week! You have NAIWE’s permission to reproduce the poster on your website, with a link back to this page, and you may also print and display it. Please invite your friends to participate in this year’s event and show your support for Words Matter Week by placing the poster in your newsletter, on your blog, or in your social media. Words really do matter, so let’s spread the reminders!

 

Prepare for the Writing Challenge

During Words Matter Week, we host a writing challenge. Each day we will post a question on our blog and various social media outlets.

Respond to the question on your blog or social media page (be sure to include #WMW2023, #WMW, or #NAIWE in your response), and then link back to it in the comments of the corresponding article on the NAIWE blog. For each challenge you respond to, you will receive one entry (and a bonus entry for each response written on your NAIWE blog).

At the end of the week, we will have a drawing, and one person will win a fabulous prize, along with a mention and link in the next newsletter.

    If there ain’t nobody coming, just go!
    E. Beecher
    A memory of a gruff voice with a farmer sense. My love for my Grandpa reaches no bounds. This whimsical quote may be about stop signs in a small town, but I chase life this way. Because I “if there ain’t no one coming” why not? Just go!

    Words open door to many new experiences, but you have to share them with others in order for them to have an impact.

    Take advantage of this blog and express yourself.

    Words Matter Week is awesome, so I can’t wait to read what others contribute.
