Pittsburgh South Writers Group

 

 Join the Pittsburgh South Writers Group!

The Pittsburgh South Writers Group began with two writers at Bethel Park Library. After chatting about writing and editing, the two strangers agreed on the need for a writers' group based in the south of Pittsburgh.​

The two became the founders of a group dedicated to holding meaningful and inspiring discussions on the topic of writing and publishing, with an emphasis on holding a monthly meeting that would serve as a chance for members to critique submitted works.

The PSWG has undergone many changes since then, but it remains a place where passionate writers come together to hone their craft and work with fellow Pittsburgh writers.
