What's All This About?

Successful writers have two common behaviors. First, they write a lot. Second, they seek out honest criticism.

The fact is, it's hard to improve your writing unless you are read, regularly.

The Naperville Writers Group offers you the opportunity to develop your craft and receive thoughtful, positive and useful critiques. Our members come from throughout the Chicago area and range from published, award-winning writers to those who write only for pleasure.

As an NWG member you'll find that you write more, and with growing confidence, with a little help from your fellow practitioners.

Writers are invited to attend a few meetings to see how we operate. We meet every Wednesday evening on the campus of North Central College in Naperville.

Our next meeting will be held on Wednesday, February 1st, 2012 at 7:00 PM. Visitors are welcome. Please see About Us for our location and other meeting details.

It's Pronounced "En-Wig"

No stuffed shirts here.

We love to write, and to read, and we prefer to be around others who love to write and read.

So, while our regular meetings end at 9PM, the irregular meeting starts right afterward and goes until the wait staff throws us out. Looking for lively conversation? You've found it!

Check Us Out!

Attend a meeting and see for yourself. Join in the discussion and, when you're ready, become a member and present some of your work to the group.

Our next meeting will be held on Wednesday, February 1st, 2012 at 7:00 PM. Visitors are welcome. Please see About Us for our location and other meeting details.

Required Reading

Books to Read About the Art and Craft of Writing


NWG Member C. Michael Becker says: "The title of David Crystal's book The Fight for English manages to suggest the two questions central to its thought provoking and surprisingly entertaining subjects: "What is there to 'fight for' over English?" and "Who would do such a thing?"" read on

Books Worth Spending Time With


NWG member Wendy Teller says "Crescent's savory stew of love story and fairy tale paints a vivid picture of time, place and culture, from pre-war Iraq, to Baghdad being bombed, and to present day, pleasant Southern California."
