We Love Words
Basically, we’re a group of diverse people that have one thing in common – we love words!
Whether it’s writing or reading, our group is here to share and collaborate.
We Foster Future Writers
In addition to getting together to chat about writing, we also sponsor an annual writing contest for the youth in Pickens County. Students in junior high and high school are invited to submit their literary creations. Visit THIS page for details.
