The Evanston Writers Group is an eclectic mix of writers, ranging from beginners to long time professionals, and reflect all ages, genders and backgrounds.
We have members who publish literary fiction, creative non-fiction, children's literature, romance, hard-boiled crime, memoir, travel, poetry, humor and assorted forms of the unclassifiable.
Because we are fearless and a little nuts, we open our minds to anyone and any thing. We'll bend and stretch ourselves like soft licorice to dig your stuff. Most importantly, we'll help you get it published.
There is no censorship at the Evanston Writers Group.

Join us on the second and fourth Wednesday of each month for inventive writing exercises to prime the writing pump. Obviously it is working, the every other Wednesday critique workshop is flowing. This group is peer led - someone taking their own valuable writing time to plan and facilitate the evening's writing activities. The group is about process not product. Read more

What members are saying
“ This is a diverse group of writers, genres and minds. ...
”
“ Writers may consider the constructive critique by peers extremely beneficial. The careful reading and exchange of ideas of/on a wide range of literary genres is by itself good exercise. ”
