https://nwu.org/index.php?q=chapters
Active web sites for chapters in Boston, New York, Santa Cruz, and Washington, D.C. among thirteen chapters nationwide.
Twin Cities Chapter was active in the past. Academic (for example, U of MN) and creative writers and editors attended events in the mid-to-late 1990s in Minneapolis. Journalists let go by newspapers came in next and created a (celebrity) journalism focus. The local chapter page now links to a web site for Oil of Olay, and the contact number is in northern Minnesota.

Ann Bogle's note from a thread in Forum:
Here's what I'll ask you to do. Send an email to me at AnnBogle1@aol.com if you are interested in forming, in Stephen Hastings-King's words, "a coherent web organization for writers across genres." The name of the group will emerge, as James Lloyd Davis says, but for now we want to keep the idea intact. David Ackley has suggested WAG for Writers Across Genres. Put WAG or cwofwag in the subject line. Include your contact information -- as much as you'd like to include but minimally your first name, last name, middle name or initial if you sign by it, your email address, your city, your affiliation (in our case, Fictionaut), your website if any. You may wish to include the url for your Fictionaut profile. An entry would look like:
Ann Bogle
AnnBogle1@aol.com
St. Louis Park, Minnesota
Fictionaut
Ana Verse at http://annbogle.blogspot.com
I'll keep a directory of these entries as they roll in.
