OverviewEstablished
in 1981, the Writers' League of Texas is a nonprofit professional organization
whose primary purpose is to provide a forum for information, support, and sharing
among writers, to help members improve and market their writing skills, and to
promote the interests of writers and the writing community. With approximately
1,500 members nationwide, we are composed of published and unpublished writers
as well as those who recognize the written word as art and simply love to read. Our
name, Writers' League of Texas (formerly Austin Writers' League), reflects our
membership base, over 50% of which resides outside the Central Texas area, and
represents the numerous programs we offer to the entire community of Texas writers. Our
MissionThe Writers' League of Texas promotes literacy and elevates the
art of writing. FundingWe are partially funded by the City
of Austin, Texas
Commission on the Arts, and National
Endowment for the Arts. Our members also contribute a great deal of
time and money to help us achieve our mission. Learn how you can contribute
