Is this a writers’ group?

Where can I find a writers’ group?

The best way is to contact the Kawartha Lakes Public Library and ask if there’s a group that meets near you.

Here are a few groups that might be open to new members:

• Kawartha Lakes Public Library Writers Circle (contact Kawartha Lakes Public Library) meets in Lindsay, Ontario
• Kawartha Lakes Public Library TEEN Writers Circle (contact Kawartha Lakes Public Library) meets in Lindsay, Ontario
