What we’re about
Get to know other Christian fiction writers in the Austin area, improve your craft, and be encouraged.
J.R.R. Tolkien wrote, "We create worlds and tell stories because God has done the same." Many of Jesus's best-known statements arose from fictional stories he told. Part of our identity as image-bearers is being "sub-creators" with him. And through the stories we tell, God shines the light of moral imagination.
If you are a fiction writer working on your first or next novel, this group is for you. Whatever genre you're writing, whichever audience it's for, and whether or not you are published, you are welcome here. This group exists to encourage and empower you to take the next step in your writing journey.
Whether you write for the CBA or ABA (Christian market or general market), come join us. We are primarily a group of fiction writers but non-fiction writers are welcome. And while we are a faith-based group, anyone may attend.
Meetings will vary between different formats:
- Critique
- Guest Speaker
- Workshop
- Focused Writing
Above all, we want this to be a comfortable place for you to connect with other writers in the Austin area, improve your craft, add more words to your manuscript, and be encouraged. Writing a novel is an adventure as well as a long road, so don't travel alone! "A cord of three strands is not easily broken" (Ecclesiastes 4:12).
