For more than 90 years, the mission of the Charlotte Writers' Club has been to create a supportive writing environment within the greater Charlotte community. Today the CWC continues to serve numerous members, including some of the region's best-known writers.
Founded in 1922 by Mrs. A.L. Kimball, the Charlotte Writers' Club filled a much needed void. When Mrs. Kimball moved to the Charlotte area, she discovered that no writing club was available and set about starting one.
The club has grown considerably over the years and now includes over 250 members and a "branch" in the Lake Norman area -- referred to as CWC-North. CWC hosts several meetings/events each season in Charlotte and Davidson. For more information on CWC, visit the
