Southwest writers


Joining a writing club is a good way to get your work seen, critiqued, and even published. This blogsite lists groups in the Southwest for writers and authors.










Attending club meetings and regional writer conferences is a useful way to learn about writing as an occupation. You may then have the opportunity to meet with published authors, editors, and agents.
