Visitors to the Colorado Springs Fiction Writer's Group are always welcome - that's how we grow. Below you will find a series of links leading to information for visitors. This information ranges from locations and times of the meetings to how the groups work.

To make this initial meeting a little easier we have a couple of suggestions....

First, contact us by phone at and let us know which group you're interested in attending. We'll be able to supply a Username and Password for the "Attending Visitor's Area" for you to download the current month's submissions. These submissions will be critiqued at the meeting. Reading them allows you to take an active part rather than just sitting on the sidelines and listening.

Over the last decade we've received a series of repetitive questions from visitors. To aid in answering these questions quickly and efficiently we've included in-depth answers to our most common queries. If you don't find your answer in the list below (including our F.A.Q. page) feel free to call us. We're always glad to help.
