Writing Contests for All Ages
April 1 - June 15 2022 Guidelines for Adult Literary Contests, Youth Writing Contests, Book Awards, and our new Poetry Chapbook Contest. 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. 
2022 State Writing Conference
Hosted by District 2 Double Tree by Hilton Lawrence, Kansas October 21-23, 2022 Support our Youth Programs! Copies of the 2021 Youth Contest Award Winners Book are available for a suggested donation of $10. If you are looking for books from previous years, visit our online store.

Author Talks
Lisa Stewart: 2021 "It Looks Like a Million" Book Award Winner
“Writing the Radical—Saying the World is Kind and Good.”
SAVE THE DATE!
Tuesday, June 14, 7:00pm via Zoom In 2012, Lisa Stewart rode 500 miles, alone, on her horse through Kansas and Missouri to fulfill a childhood dream. Lisa will speak about her notetaking and communications on the trip and how she handled writing about the love and kindness she encountered without sounding saccharine or appearing to promote a message. She will speak about why and how she made such a trip, the nature of horses, what she personally gained from the experience, and what she hopes others will learn about the beauty and kindness of the world. 2022 Author Talk Schedule
June 14 - Lisa D. Stewart August 9 - Adelaide Bauman Many thanks to the following authors for participating in this series:
