Our story Since 2024

You don’t have to write alone anymore.

ATX Writing Club began with a few coffee-shop meetups and a simple idea: Austin writers needed somewhere to meet, work, and keep coming back. Today, more than 200 writers are part of the club.

How the club grew

Writers gather around a table in a warmly lit room seen through a doorway

Built by the writers who keep showing up.

Week after week, familiar faces gather around the same table and make the solitary work feel shared.

Tolkien and C.S. Lewis had the Inklings; Virginia Woolf had The Bloomsbury Group; Hemingway had smoky Paris cafés; the Beats had midnight rendezvous.

Great writers need great people.

The beginning

January 2024

We started in January 2024 with a simple goal: build the writing community we couldn't find. Austin was full of talented people, but nowhere to gather. The online writing groups felt like ghost towns. The workshops were either too precious or too pretentious.

We weren't looking for another course or someone to tell us how to write. We wanted a place to meet other writers and get to work. So we made one.

Those first coffee-shop meetups grew into a year-round club for Austin writers.

We now host monthly book clubs, weekly writing sessions, salon-style dinners, and creative sprints that attract writers from every corner of the city.

Our members include novelists, essayists, screenwriters, poets, playwrights, journalists, and people who are finally finishing something they started ten years ago.

Members in conversation

If you've been writing alone, you're not the only one. That's why we exist. To write. To finish. To find your people.
