Welcome

Objectives:   To study methods of writing and research,
                      To develop our talents as writers,
                      To promote interest in writing, and
                      To encourage our fellow writers at all times

The Abilene Writers Guild will be 56 in May 2025!  

​

We look forward to seeing you at our future meetings!  AWG desires to present interesting, informative, fun meetings where anyone can learn more about writing.   

While AWG operates on a limited budget, our speakers receive a small honorarium and a one-year membership.  We also have specific monthly meeting dates and times for which speakers must be available.

​​​​​2025 Programs:​

May 22, 2025 - Always a fun time hearing members read and share some of the things they have written.  Get ready to listen, enjoy and/or read.  There is always SUCH variety!!

June 26, 2025 - Local writer, Loretta Fulton, will present our program this month. After earning her Bachelor of Journalism degree from U.T. Austin, she started work at the Abilene Reporter News, where she earned honors for her reporting and writing from numerous journalism organizations! Loretta began doing freelance writing after early retirement in 2007. She continued covering religion for the newspaper until 2020.  Visit her website,  spiritofabilene.com

She currently writes for several publications and has authored 10 books, including biographies and histories of local institutions. 

July 24, 2025 - "Flying is Fun, Beautiful and Rarely, Terrifying"   

Pardon???   Born in Kentucky, Doug Worthington, BA, Med. PhD, who retired after 37 years as a medical psychologist, spent most of his early years on the family farm, where he had his first encounter with an airplane.  He began flying when he was 14 and has logged 7,000 hours in various types of aircraft, both military and civilian.  He reports that flying long distances has been described as hours of tedium and boredom interspersed briefly with stark terror. 

Join us as he shares stories and events about aviation and perhaps share some of your own adventures in flying.  Maybe you will be inspired to include flying in something you write!
