The world of writing is varied just as our writers' group is varied. We are celebrating our 30th year as an organization. Writers are often loners - its the nature of the work. Most of us work alone on our endeavors, often segregating ourselves from our family and friends in order to do what we are driven to do. But we yearn to have the association of other writers. It is that yearning that causes us to seek out the company of writers in the form of a writing group or guild. East Texas Writers Association began 30 years ago just for that purpose.

We gather together once a month to fellowship at dinner, participate in a program provided by a guest speaker, and then share our writing with one another. We meet on the 2nd Friday of each month at Casa Ole on Spur 63 in Longview, Texas at 6:30 p.m. Dinner is optional - fellowship abundant! Writers in all genres are welcome. We run the gamut from non-fiction to fiction, published to non-published. If you're in the area, join us as a visitor. See how we fit into your life. Even if you're just visiting the area from out of state, as one young lady did at our last meeting, stop by and check us out. She was from Chicago!
