Monthly Meetings

We will hold monthly meetings the second Tuesday of each month at downtown branch of the Chattanooga - Hamilton County Bicentennial Library. We will provide a reading by a local or regional published writer or host other writing related events in response to community interest. Before the reading/event begins, we will briefly make announcements about upcoming literary events in the community, recognize members who have been published, and share other related guild information.

Independent Writers' Groups
We will hold Monthly Open Readings where CWG members may share their work in a relaxed, informal setting--The Barefoot Reading Series. We will organize, encourage, and promote writers' groups who will meet independently to discuss and critique each other's work. Writing groups will be genre focused and will independently establish meeting schedules, depending on their own needs.
