The Colorado Springs Fiction Writer's Group Sunday group was re-established in October of 2009, compiling members from the Saturday and Monday groups. Meetings are held in the meeting room of the Barnes and Noble near the Citadel Mall (scroll down for directions, phone number and directions). Meetings are on the last Sunday of each month (with the exception of holidays) from Noon to 3PM.

The CSFWG offers the public an additional group which meets on a different day and time. Each of these groups is comprised of different members representing multiple genres.

The dynamics for all of the CSFWG groups focuses on having writers from differing genres in attendance. This allows submitting members to receive critiques from a multitude of backgrounds, interests and styles. Non genre-specific critique groups, like the CSFWG, give writers opinions, insight and suggestions coming from peers who often write in another field, allowing critiqued authors to better hone their work.

Each of the Colorado Springs Fiction Writer's Group members has a personal page offering photo, biography and sample works (sample works are optional). Click on any member listed below to view their information.

We've spent the last six months researching our options and preparing for the change, and this system is going to allow us to add capabilities that we've wanted and needed for years. For example, we'll be able to send shipping Confirmations, most likely with tracking information, so you can know what's coming your way and when to expect it. There are a lot of other great features that will help us stay better organized behind the scenes, and we think this new system will be a good change for everyone involved. We'll post more details when the system goes live.   NEW NON-FICTION BOOK, "THE DAY I FOUND ME" TELLS STORY OF SELF DISCOVERY YORKTOWN, Va. - Nov. 1, 2007 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Anttyr Publishing, a Virginia-based publishing company, announces the release of a new book 'The Day I Found Me' (ISBN: 978-0-9790328-1-3).
