Directions
The Utica Writers Club is a not-for-profit organization based in the City of Utica in the
beautiful hills and valleys of Upstate New York. The Club was established over 60 years ago,
when a few elderly women began meeting at each other's homes. Since then, the Club's
diversification of peoples, styles, and aspirations have expanded greatly.
Our mission is to foster the art of writing among members and to support and encourage
non-member writers in the community. So if your interest is in writing for pleasure or
profit, or if you simply enjoy listening to stories, you have a place at the Utica Writers
Club. By attending meetings, Club and community members are able to network, revise their
literary works, and discuss markets for works in an open and friendly atmosphere. Many
members and guest speakers have been published many times, and can often offer insight and
advice to aspiring writers.

Meetings are conducted in "round table" style, in which member and visitor readings are presented
to the group for constructive comments. All varieties of writing, regardless of genre, are discussed
and encouraged by the Club.
- Formal Meetings are held the fourth Wednesday of every month at the
Kirkland Town Library, located at 55 1/2 College Street.
The meeting begins at 6:00 PM and runs until 8:45 PM.
