MWG Chapters and Locations
The Missouri Writers' Guild has chapters
throughout the state. Chapters meet regularly for members to share
writing tips and ideas, listen to presentations by successful authors, learn
about various genres of writing, and network with other writers and
editors. Some chapters also offer readings and critique groups. In
addition, many chapters offer special programs, such as writing
workshops, public readings, contests, and anthologies.
