The Charlotte Writer’s Club, established in 1922, is an organization of individuals who value the written word. It offers critique groups, workshops and monthly meetings with speakers who address a variety of topics on all forms of writing, publishing and finding the writer within. The club also sponsors numerous writing contests.
