Welcome to The Society of Professional Obituary Writers, an organization created for folks who write about the dead for a living.
Our group's goal is to provide professional training and resources to help writers develop reporting, interviewing, writing and new media skills for creating outstanding obituaries. We want those who write articles about the recently deceased to regard obituaries as once-in-a-lifetime stories that should be written with as much care and attention as any other newsroom assignment.
We invite obituary writers to join our organization, attend future conferences and enter the SPOW Awards competition.
