Mid year, in the year of our Lord, 2013, a few aspiring writers were in search of a common outlet and like minds, and set out to construct their vision.
While the SYWS is located in North Central Connecticut, we welcome any prospective members who are willing to make a commute to the area, or can hold a meeting within a reasonable distance (please contact us for details).
Each of the founding members is a writing enthusiast and either has formal education in literature, teaches literature, or has a significant steeping in literature. There are no specific limitations on the types of writing that we create or critique. Whether you are a newcomer to the art and craft of writing, practicing, or even a professional looking for a friendly group of like minded people, all are welcome to join.
We do have some rules for critiquing and meeting procedures:
The first rule of SYWS is WRITE!
The second rule of SYWS is to join the group!
