About us
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.

Pet Poetry with the Evanston Animal Shelter
Evanston Animal Shelter, 2310 Oakton Street, Evanston, IL, USThe Evanston Writers Workshop is collaborating with the Evanston Animal Shelter for a special pet poetry event! Join us at the Evanston Animal Shelter (2310 Oakton St, Evanston, IL 60202) from 7-9pm as we write poems for the shelter's furry residents. These poems will be posted outside of each animal's room for potential adoptees to read and hopefully help them fall in love.
Participants will be able to see most resident cats in the public areas of the shelter but will not be able to visit the dogs, who are kept less public to preserve their peace and quiet. Pictures and general information of all animals will be provided to help you get poetic.
We will be sharing light snacks (feel free to bring your own to share if you're so inclined).
