This group is for fiction writers looking for guidance and support as they grow as writers. The group is organized by Kip Langello, published author and Writer's Digest Magazine teacher. The goal is for aspiring writers to learn from more experienced writers, to workshop their material and to find their way to publication.

As a member of The Writers' Workshop, you can belong to a community of fellow writers who will encourage you in your craft.  Each writer should come to each week's writing session with a pen …

As they say, a picture says a thousand words and what better way to convey these kinds of messag …
