ONLINE VIDEO MEETING: We will have a general writing question and answer discussion. If you have any Show and Tell please share it with us. We will critique our stories by email.

The WAGS Writers Group was established in September 2018 to facilitate, support, encourage and motivate each other to write our families history.

We meet monthly at 10am on the first Wednesday of the month (except January).  Between meetings we are encouraged to write a short article on a specific topic. Our meetings will be divided into 2 parts.  In the the first part we will be in small groups and postively critique the monthly writing assignment.  The second part will include talks and discussions on basics (how to write, how to start, timelines, etc.) which will provide information and resources for members setting out to write their family history.

We welcome new WAGS members who want to get and give encouragement, support and help in writing about their families history.
