Palouse Writers Guild

In my quest for a better writers’ group I kept getting the same piece of advice. “Just start your own group.”

Deciding it was time for me to become the change I wished to see in the world, I did just that.

In August 2016 I was offered the opportunity to take over the running of a defunct Meet-up group. My first action was to change the group’s name and remove anyone who had accidentally joined looking for a Meet-up in Moscow, Russia. That paired the list down to 15 members, only 3 of which had ever shown up. Since taking over the group, membership has grown substantially, indicating that others in the area are hungry for professional development and a connection with other writers.

The Palouse Writers’ Guild’s goal is to facilitate literary education by supporting writers’ groups, author readings, workshops, writing contests, and conference attendance. Our calendar lists the dates and times of writing groups from the Moscow/Pullman area. Membership is open to writers of all genres and media. Anyone interested in free writing, critique, participating in writing exercises, attending literary events, or just socializing with groups of like-minded people is welcome to join.

More information can be found on the Palouse Writers Guild website: www.palousewritersguild.org

The Palouse Writers Guild also maintains a calendar and list of events on Meet-up.com. Our address there is https://www.meetup.com/Palouse-Writers-Guild/
