What we’re about

We’re a supportive community of friends who happen to be writers offering advice, inspiration, and socialization through an array of events to help your writing evolve into a better expression of your art.

Founded in 2015, the Fort Wayne Writers Guild is a literary community devoted to creating an inspirational, safe space for writers to share their work, refine their craft, and spend quality time together. We pride ourselves on creating an environment that is a fun, supportive, and artistic exchange among friends. We welcome all types of writing—fiction, memoir, poetry, journalism, screenwriting, etc., and all types of writers, from absolute beginners to published veterans.

Our meetings cater to all kinds of writing activities and include the following events each month:

Writers Round Robin: Critique sessions meeting every other week where writers share works in progress for encouraging, constructive feedback.

Shut Up & Write: Free-writing sessions once per month where members can work on their individual projects side-by-side.

Weekend Writers: Online free-writing sessions weekly that are similar to Shut Up & Write, but with a more structured format.

Short Fiction Saturday: Gatherings on the last Saturday afternoon of the Month, where members share short stories based on prompts for group discussion.

Pubs & Prose: A revival of Hemingway's "moveable feast" once per month where we gather simply to relax, socialize, and imbibe.
