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

Next meeting is 3:00 p.m., March 24 2024, at the First Presbyterian Church fellowship hall. Kelly Liddington will lead a discussion on the club creating a co-operative effort toward publication.
