We’re a group of Christian fiction writers who love God, each other, and the art of writing—but not always the editing process. 
Writers need interaction with other writers and what better place to fit in than with a writers group. We celebrate our joys, commiserate our pitfalls, and handle everything in between. We discuss all aspects of writing from craft to industry insights as well as enjoy teaching from popular authors. While we write in all different genres, we do have one thing in common: to glorify God with our work.
Monthly meeting topics have included marketing, critique groups, writing organization, and character faith journeys. We’ve also enjoyed teaching from Cindy Woodsmall, and Debbie Guisti, Julie Garmon, Bryan Davis, Creston Mapes, and Amy Wallace.
If you’re interested in writing, we invite you to come visit. We’d love to meet you! The WORD group meets in Sugar Hill, Georgia on the fourth Tuesday of every month at seven p.m. Please join us for our next meeting. We would love to have you visit us and see what we’re all about!
