LOST STATE

WRITERS GUILD

 

CELEBRATING OVER 30 YEARS!

 

LSWG

 

 

Our new LSWG Logo uses three quills to represent the Tri-City region and our Tri-State members in TN, VA and NC.  

The quills also symbolize the three segments of writing: introduction/body/ending.

 

MEETINGS    

 

We meet on the first Thursday of each month from 10:30am to 12:00pm online via Zoom only.  Our Zoom meetings allow us speakers from across the country and attendance as well of our out-of-state members.  Our meetings will also be video taped and available to members via a special YouTube link.

 

On the third Thursday of every other month, we meet locally for a social gathering, currently at the Perkins Restaurant in Kingsport, TN.  Join us for a bit of brunch, talk about your writing and discuss new ideas, and get to meet and know your fellow author members.
