About Shawano Area Writers
Shawano Area Writers brings together writers at every stage—from people just getting started to published authors. Our members write in many genres, for many audiences, but we share one goal: helping one another learn, improve, and keep writing.
Who We Are
SAW is a community of professional, hobbyist, emerging, and experienced writers from a variety of backgrounds. Members share their work, exchange ideas, offer constructive feedback, and encourage one another to grow.
You do not need to be published—or even close to published—to belong. You just need an interest in writing and a willingness to learn.
Join SAW
Annual membership is just $5.
If you want to improve your craft, meet other writers, and become part of a supportive local writing community, we would be glad to have you.
Visitors are always welcome to attend a meeting before joining.
Meet With Us
Shawano Area Writers meets on the third Thursday of each month. Join us for either—or both—of our monthly gatherings.
