At least 21 different writers have found their way to the Groesbeck Meeting Room, the auditorium, or one of the study rooms at the Manhattan, Kansas, public library for meetings of the Manhattan KAC Writing Group. We meet from 5:30 to 7:00 every other Thursday evening.
Our meeting dates for 2026 are January 15 & 29, February 12 & 26, March 12 & 26, April 9 & 23, May 7 & 21, June 4 & 18, July 2, 16, & 30, August 13 & 27, September 10 & 24, October 8 and 22, November 5 & 19, and December 3 & 17.
If you contact me, I will send you an email before each meeting with room location and other pertinent information. (I keep email addresses private, even from regular attendees.)
Attendees generally number from 5 to 10, so we usually have sufficient time to share pieces (poetry or prose) and get input on various writing issues. I am constantly amazed how much I have learned from group members. Some come with complete novels to "test." Others come with ideas and snips, using the meetings as motivation to dig into projects they have been meaning to write.
Come join us if you're in Manhattan on a Thursday we meet!
