KS Writers, Inc.

KS Writers, Inc. offers a home to writers wherever they are in their writing life - tackling their first book, submitting their first manuscript, or world building their 10th novel. At our meetings we offer support and educational information about the writing craft and publishing, whether mainstream or online.
 
With today's ever-changing book markets, and more writers than ever before publishing it's important to have a strong support network.

Come and visit us at the Topeka & Shawnee County Public Library in Topeka, Kansas, on the 4th Saturday of each month (except April, November & December). Our gatherings begin at 10 a.m. with either a live critique session and/or a taped workshop and discussion, followed by lunch and a short business meeting. Then at 1 p.m. our program begins and concludes around 2:30 p.m. You're welcome to join us for all or part of our meeting.

I read and walked for miles at night along the beach,
writing bad blank verse and searching endlessly
for someone wonderful who would step
out of the darkness and change my life.
It never crossed my mind that that person
could be me.

-Anna Quindlen
