Established 1969 · Abilene, Texas
An organization of writers, both professional and beginning.
We meet monthly for education, sharing, and encouragement — a speaker, our Brags and Sags, and the month’s contest. Visitors are always welcome.
Meetings
Programs are geared to writers of every genre, so you are sure to find something of interest. Members read their own work in May and November. Give us a try.
Contests
Monthly members-only contests sharpen your skills and pay cash prizes. Our Annual Contest is open to all: entries in October and November, awards at the March workshop.
Newsletter
Members receive a monthly newsletter of writing articles, contest news, and community information — wherever in the country you live.
Our objectives
To study methods of writing and research
To promote interest in writing
To develop our talents as writers
To encourage our fellow writers at all times
