Join the Fairfield County Writers Group (fairfieldcountywriters.org) on the third Saturday of the month for a monthly write-in, a three-hour productive working session where we can gather together and feed off each other's focused energies to work on our individual projects (and escape the responsibilities and chaos of our home lives for a few hours each month to get writing done).
The FCWG is comprised of authors from across the spectrum of career paths, some are just starting out while others have published and self-published completed works. We know that everyone has to start somewhere and welcome anyone who is serious about working on their writing. There is no cost for attending our writing sessions, nor are there dues for membership. Please visit our website for our events calendar and links to our Discord and Facebook groups.
Please come prepared to work quietly on your project. WiFi and power outlets are available thanks to the Ridgefield Library. Library patrons of all ages and experience levels are welcome.
Please register.
