The meetings are open and we encourage all who are interested to
attend. Meetings consist of a read around where each person reads what they have
written on an assigned topic. (so bring anything that you wish to read) Members
take turns choosing the topic and form is optional. The assignment may be
written as a poem, song lyrics, or short story in any Genre. We encourage all
forms of writing.
The next meeting will be November 10th See you there.
Remember... to be a writer, you must write!

Guild History
Started in the 70's as the Writers' Club, the group met first at
the Ardmore Library and then at Sally King's and Liz Smith's. Very informal in
the beginning days, the authors brought copies of what they'd written for
everyone to read and share. Liz Smith remarked, "We really tried to help
each other with our writing". In the 80's, the group organized,
forming a constitution and by-laws. For the past 10 years, the guild has been
affiliated with the Oklahoma Writers' Federation, Inc. and the Oklahoma Arts and
Humanities Council.
