A Literary Fiction Writing Community
Welcome to the Chicago Literary Writers' website! We are a writing group that focuses on literary fiction. Established in 2007, we meet twice a month at a local coffee shop to discuss members' stories, share writing prompts, and support each other through our literary journeys. We keep our group small, so that everyone has the opportunity to have their writing workshopped on a regular basis. As we occasionally have members who move on for graduate school or other life changes, we do find ourselves with openings in the group from time to time.
In order to join, we do require a writing sample. We feel it is important to find writers who are both serious about their craft and who will fit in with the dynamic of the group. Please keep in mind that we focus only on literary fiction, so while we love poetry, plays, screenplays, genre fiction, and the people who write them, we are not the group for you if you do not write literary fiction. If you are interested in the joining our group or simply have questions, please email chicagoliterarywriters@gmail.com or reach out via our contact page. We look forward to hearing from you!
