Twin Lakes Writers

Twin Lakes Writers is a not-for-profit group whose purpose is to bring together writers and share literary knowledge throughout northern Arkansas and southern Missouri.

The group is headed by President Mary Nida Smith and Vice President Janice Votsmier and has twenty-plus members actively writing magazine articles, novels, historical references, short stories, screenplays, and poems.

The group meets once a month and gives members a chance to have a short piece of work critiqued, so they can get an idea for how their work is progressing. It’s also an opportunity to discuss upcoming writing contests and events.

Twin Lakes Writers understands authors are often looking for smaller critique groups of four to six people. The group has spawned several of these itself out of the main monthly meetings; it’s just a matter of attending a meeting or two and finding the right people.
