WELCOME

      The Anson County Writers' Club fosters the art of writing in Anson County through support, awareness and recognition of all writers -- from the beginner to the published author.
     This is accomplished through regular meetings, workshops, lectures and readings; through our annual contests in prose and poetry culminating in a public awards ceremony; and through our grant program.
     The Anson County Writers' Club meets the fourth Sunday of each month (except July and December) at 3:00 p.m. (see meeting announcement below).



Next Meeting

The ACWC will meet at 3:00 p.m. on Sunday, November 26, 2023, at the First Presbyterian Church Fellowship Hall. Program: Open Mic

Her previous books are "Coley Hill", "A Churchman's Confession", "The Apple Tree", and "The Suitcase".
