Kaw River Writers

We will meet for the first time on Thursday, July 23rd, at 7 pm. Bring copies if you have something to share. Even if there are only two of us this first time, that's still community. Hope to see you there!

Hi all, Robin here.

After moving to Topeka, I spent quite a while looking for a writing group but never really found a good fit so decided to start one myself.

This group is for writers who are serious about improving their craft through thoughtful, honest, and respectful critique. We all have room to grow, and the goal is to help one another become stronger writers. If you're looking for a group that offers only praise, this probably isn't the right fit.

Whether you write poetry, short fiction, memoir, or novels, you're welcome.

My plan is to meet every other Thursday at 7:00 p.m. We can use my workplace at no cost, so we'll have a comfortable space to write, discuss our work, and challenge one another to improve.

If this sounds like the kind of group you've been looking for, or you know someone who might be interested, please feel free to share this page.
