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!
