Although our site continues to evolve the links to the left are active and will provide you with information about our group. Be sure to check our Calendar link to the left for the latest on our 2012 meeting schedule!
Members of the Guild consist of published and unpublished writers who support each other in the craft of writing. Individuals who are just exploring their desire to write will find guidance and experienced writers will receive the honest critique we all want before sending off our work to an agent or publisher. This diverse group includes novelists, screenwriters, poets, song writers, journalist, and editors. From short stories to epic novels the meetings provide opportunities for all genres. Attend a meeting and you could hear everything from poetry or a musician offering his latest song, to young adult novels, science fiction, fantasy, or real life stories just to name a few of the works being presented for critique at the time of this posting.
The Klamath Writers' Guild is a nonprofit organization.
Founded in September 1993 by a group of inspired writers, the Guild continues to help writers of all genres. Meeting on the first and third Mondays of each month, the members offer samples of their writing for supportive criticism and encouragement. Additional meetings for members are scheduled throughout the year with a focus on publishers, agents, and open discussion on the craft of writing. (Due to scheduling of community meeting space we are not always able to gather on the first and third Mondays. See our Calendar for meeting times and dates.)
The Purposes of the KWG
- to foster and promote all forms of the Literary Arts.
- to support other members in the craft of writing.

- to sustain an atmosphere and forum that will allow its members to express themselves openly.
