The Kansas Authors Club
welcomes creative, technical, academic, and journalistic writers

​Since 1904, the club has offered the opportunity to writers to share experiences and problems unique to their profession. We welcome novices to authors of national reputation.

​While magazines and books may be helpful in improving one’s writing skills, there is no substitute for the camaraderie enjoyed or the expertise developed when poets, playwrights, and prose writers meet to listen, discuss, and analyze their craft in an atmosphere of mutual support.
 
​Member website tip: Explore the newly updated “meet our members” pages. Get to know your fellow Kansas Authors Club members by checking out their websites and their books. 
​
  • Challenge #1: Select a member, send a note of introduction, and offer to write up a “meet a member” bio that can be shared on our website and social media channels. Check out the Welcome Wagon introductions for inspiration. Submit it here!

  • ​​Challenge #2: Read a book by a member and share a review. Submit (the link or the review) and we will share it too!
