Looking for a writing group to join? 
You're in the right place.
All the groups below belong to NAWG and each of their members have access to NAWG benefits and services.
Every group is different, so please get in touch with them to find out more about what they do and how to join them: details are in the regional directories you can open or download from the link in each section.
Note that some groups may be closed or at capacity and unable to accept new members.

Is your group, or a group you know of, not listed?
Why not get the group to join? 
You can find out why and how on the Membership page.

No group in your area?
Why not consider starting one yourself? 
We have put together some useful tips but, if it still seems rather daunting, remember you can join NAWG as an individual member and get discounts to our regular events where you can meet and talk to other writers.
