Central Indiana Writers’ Association, a not-for-profit organization founded in 1976, is a community of novelists, poets, and essayists writing in all genres. We come together once a month via Zoom (details below) to provide our members with a range of workshops, writing tools, and support. Everyone is welcome!
(And while CIWA encourages every writer to continue writing, we don’t support any form of pornography, erotica, or BDSM writing. There are writing groups for such genres elsewhere.)
Have questions? Feel free to email us at: centralindianawriters1976@gmail.com

Open Mic Night
“The idea is to write it so that people hear it and it slides through the brain and goes straight to the heart.” — Maya Angelou
Your time to shine!
Share your accomplishments, big or small. Read aloud a short piece of writing: excerpt from a published book, story, or article, or a poem (3–5 minutes per attendee to share). Open Mic is always a popular and fun night. Join us!

Meetings are held on the third Monday of the month via Zoom from 7 to 8:30 pm ET, unless otherwise noted. Our meetings are virtual to accommodate our members throughout Central Indiana and in other states, too. We don’t want your location to keep you from joining us. Guests are always welcome. We look forward to meeting you on Zoom!
