Atlanta Writers Club

Founded in 1914, the Atlanta Writers Club (AWC) teaches the craft and business of writing, supports the local literary community, and encourages more reading by the public.

The AWC serves all who are interested in writing, from well-published authors to those aspiring to write for the first time. Our members include writers of fiction, non-fiction, memoir, essays, blogs, graphic novels, poetry, screenplays, teleplays, stage plays, journalism, and freelance work. We are pleased to promote our members’ publications on the Our Members’ Success page of our website, in our monthly newsletter, and through our online Bookshop.org-affiliated bookstore.

AWC hosts monthly educational meetings and periodic in-person and online workshops. If you are a first-time visitor, we invite you to come to a meeting for free to decide if we’ll be a good fit for you.

We also host the Atlanta Writers Conference twice each year, where our members can receive literary agent and publisher feedback about their work, take the next big step toward achieving agent representation and book deals, and learn even more about the writing craft and the publishing industry. In addition, we offer the Atlanta Self-Publishing Conference annually for authors who are interested in self-publishing or who have self-published and want to get the most out of their publishing business.
