THE WRITERS OF CHANTILLY are a variety of people who have little in common except a desire to write and who value one another’s friendship and insight. Some are new and some have been together for years. Some have a story that nobody else could tell. They gather together twice a month to exchange their fiction, nonfiction, essays, and poetry. They return to their mysterious, chaotic, or humdrum world feeling enriched, encouraged, and anxious to write more stories.
