Mission

The Regional Anthropomorphic Writers Retreat is the cornerstone program for the the Association for the Promotion of Anthropomorphic Writing, Incorporated (APAW). While APAW's goal is to further the education, promote, and raise public awareness of furry writing to writers and the public, the RAWR is primarily concerned with improving the skills and confidence of furry writers.
