WordShine: Writers Group

WordShine

WordShine is a small group of people-who-write in the greater Kansas City area. Our group is hosted by volunteers within the Unity Arts Community. Members of the WordShine group find joy in playing with words, whether it be novels, short stories, memoirs, or poetry. If this is you, we invite you to join us! No pre-registration required to attend monthly meetings.

The WordShine Mission Statement:
To inspire and support writers on the journey of allowing Creative Source to manifest as the written word.
