Austin Writers is a meant as a source of positive reinforcement and community for writers of all kinds in the Austin area. During a regular month, we have 2 meetups; a mid-month Write-In, where we come ready to simply be in one place and write in the company of others; and an end of the month Sharing & Discussion, where people bring examples of their current writing for sharing and to spark discussion.
The goal is simply to help foster a community of writers in Austin, and provide continuity to keep us writing as we go through daily life. It is not a heavy-duty workshop type thing. Absolutely all writing styles and approaches are welcomed; fiction, non-fiction, journaling, experimental.
Requested Donation to cover fees: $3 per Meetup. Thanks for helping us thrive!
Please Note! Austin Writers Meetup focuses on Austin and the central urban area. There is also a Round Rock Writers Group, run by different folks:

The week night meetups have been going very well so we're going to keep them going to supplement our regular Saturday meetups. For those of you that have attended the Saturday meetups the weeknight group will run the same way. For those of you that haven't we'll start the meeting off by reading works from those that have brought something to share then we'll take turns discussing them. Read more

“Needless to say 'I write', however, being in the company of those with like mind is a high priority. I like the sound of this group and I think the concept is very smart. Look forward to meeting you all.”
