Is there a membership fee?
No. But it would be appreciated if you like us on Facebook!
When/where does the club meet?
We meet at 10 a.m. the first and third Saturday of each month in the lower level conference room of the Oshkosh Public Library.
How many members are there?
There are about 12 core people, others come and go as life allows. Meetings can have as few as 10 and as many as 22 people. Some are beginning writers, others have been published and a few have agents/book contracts.
How do the meetings work?
Meetings start with short introductions and general announcements. Then we begin critiques - a person reads their work aloud (5 minutes or less; time yourself at home if necessary), followed by a group critique. Not everyone reads at every meeting, so it's okay to attend, but not share your writing. If you do plan to read, please bring six copies of your work to share.
We also make special arrangements for people with completed manuscripts or compilations - anything that is too long to read during a meeting.
What else does the club do?
During the year, we host free programs at the library and in the community - including open mics, author visits and writing workshops. We also co-sponsor the Lakefly Writers Conference each May at the Oshkosh Convention Center.
The Oshkosh Area Writers Club will meet at 10 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 6, in the lower level conference room of the Oshkosh Public Library.
