First Sunday of Every Month from 2:00-4:00PM
Next meeting:
January 5
In our upcoming Rolla Writers Club meeting at the Rolla Public Library, we will explore tips and ideas for creating a thriving membership community as a way of making a living as a writer and creative entrepreneur, with a specific emphasis on creating, maintaining, and sustaining a Patreon community, but applicable to other membership platforms as well. The emphasis will be on creating long-term sustainable projects with slow and steady growth and rewarding and nourishing relationship-based work. (This is not a “get rich quick” plan!)
About Writer's Club
Are you ready to create the writer’s life? Do you have ideas, passions, or beliefs to share through fiction, nonfiction, or poetry?
The best way to BE a writer is to write. But that’s easier said than done, right?
Maybe you struggle with:
- Setting realistic and productive writing goals.
- Beating writer’s block.
- Building community around your writing pursuits.
Rolla Writers Club is a group of creatives who turn brilliant ideas into finished writing. We welcome writers with a diverse range of interests and goals. Current registrants are:
- Writing blog articles and website copy.
- Writing personal journals.
- Writing science fiction novels.
- Writing poetry.
- Writing memoirs.
- Writing how-to and self-help books.
Mark your calendars—the first Sunday of every month is your time to unlock inspiration and connect with like-minded writers at the Rolla Public Library!
For two hours, we’ll help you connect with everything you love about writing. Here’s what’s waiting for you at every meeting:
Meet Local Missouri Authors: Get to know the incredible wordsmiths in your own backyard. Swap stories, share tips, and discover the talent thriving in our community. Who knows? Your next writing partner or mentor might be sitting right next to you!
Ignite Your Creativity with Writing Prompts: Fuel your imagination with group writing exercises designed to surprise, challenge, and inspire. Whether you’re writing fiction, nonfiction, or poetry these activities will keep your ideas flowing.
Share What Inspires You: Dive into lively discussions and share writing that speaks to you—whether it’s something you’ve penned or a piece from a favorite author. It’s a perfect chance to exchange ideas, find motivation, and gain fresh perspectives.
Learn Game-Changing Concepts: From beating procrastination to navigating the path to publication, every meeting offers tools, techniques, and insights to level up your writing life. Plus, we’ll explore ways to connect with peers and build your community.
Be Inspired by Guest Speakers: We bring the experts to you—published authors who are here to share their journeys, advice, and wisdom.
Things we are NOT:
- This is NOT a writing critique group. We do not do public readings or exchange drafts for critiques. However, you can branch off and create smaller writing critique groups with people you meet in the Rolla Writers Club.
- This is NOT a judgmental group. We love our poets as much as our philosophers; our science fiction novelists and self-help authors alike. We’re at different stages of growth, pursuing different goals, and engaging different audiences. Topics and discussions will reflect this diversity.
- This is NOT a place where we have “the correct way” to start or finish your writing project. But we are a place for resources that real writers use to create tangible successes in their creative journeys.
Are you ready to connect with other writers and take your creativity to the next level? Don’t wait—reserve your spot now! (Yes, it is free!) Spaces are limited, and registrations help ensure you have a seat. Register here!
Have a passion for sharing knowledge? If you’re interested in leading a workshop or being a guest speaker, we’d love to hear your ideas! This is your chance to share your insights and inspire fellow writers. Apply to speak or lead a workshop here!
Got questions or comments? We’re here to help! Whether you’re curious about club activities or just want to drop us a note, we’d love to hear from you. Submit your inquiries here!
Join us and discover a welcoming, creative community that’s all about helping writers like YOU succeed. We can’t wait to see you at the next Rolla Writers Club meeting!
