About Louisville Christian Writers
|
Louisville Christian Writers, aka LCW, has been around for over 10 years. Our ACW (American Christian Writers) affiliate group was started from a local conference instructor, Donna Roberts. At that time, we were known as "Joy Writers". We meet together monthly to encourage one another in writing, in ministry, and to educate each other on how to improve our talents so God can better use us.
Our group of Christians who write meets on the 2nd Saturday of every month in the Community Room on basement level 2 at Norton Audubon Hospital on Poplar Level Rd. We meet from 4:30pm to 5:30pm for fellowship and dinner (on your own & can be purchased in the hospital cafeteria), with the meeting sessions following at 5:45pm and 7:15pm.
If you are wondering about the double times listed above, as of our February 2009 meeting, we moved to this new improved (and approved) format of splitting the meeting into two parts. This is not only for those who may not be able to devote an entire evening to group activities, but also to allow for a public session and a members-only session. The parts will run as follows:
- The first part of the meeting, the writing session, will include business and writing activities, such as speakers, exercises, etc. That will run from 5:45 to 7pm.
- There will be a 15-minute break from 7 to 7:15pm when early attendees may be dismissed--or simply take a break.
- Others, who only want to attend the members critique session, will then join us from 7:15 to 8:30pm. (Note: Non-members, or prospective members, may attend a limited number of critique sessions without committing to a paid membership.)
Session Notes: The writing session will always be open to the public. These sessions will generally include some type of writing instruction, be it in the form of a speaker or a writing exercise, and any other business about writing we can fit in. The critique sessions are for our growth as writers. If you join us for critiques, come prepared with 4-5 typewritten, (plus double-spaced and spell-checked) copies of your manuscript of no more than 4 pages.
About LCW Membership: Membership is open to all Christians who write, regardless of each writer's level of expertise, experience, or choice of genre. Dues are only $30 for the first year and $25 per year thereafter. Dues are mostly for the cost of our newsletter creation where all members are encouraged to submit.
For more information, you can visit our regular website at http://www.lcwriters.com, or send us a Shout mail message. In addition, you can follow meeting and between-meeting updates on Twitter.

Finally, if you have received a friend invitation from us, you have likely listed yourself on Shoutlife as a Kentucky or Indiana author. I'm sending requests even to those a bit far away in case you may have friends or family in the Louisville area. Should visits to them bring you nearby on the 2nd Saturday of the month, you might want to attend a meeting. In addition, I'd like to communicate with others who are members of local ACW chapters, or give you information on how to start your own chapter group with American Christian Writers. Beyond all of this, there may be an occasion where I am looking for a speaker to visit our group, and I'd like to consider other Shoutlife authors first.
