Round Rock Writers Guild is a collective of writers that gathers regularly at Lamppost Coffee to write, talk about writing, and support one another. Members generally come from the North Austin, Round Rock, Georgetown, and Cedar Park areas, but anyone who is willing to make the trip is welcome.
Our group is open to any genre or style. We only require that members be respectful toward each other and the work being presented. We encourage honest critique and open-minded discussion. In addition to this forum, we have a Meetup Page where we collect RSVPs and share updates about time/location changes.

Meetings include:
Every Mon - 6 pm - 8 pm – Work In Progress (WIP)
This is the meeting where we give and get formal critiques. To participate, you must show up to at least one other meeting to meet the group and you must create a forum account for access to the WIP board.
Every Thur – 6 pm – 8 pm – Unofficial Write In
Come in, get a cup of coffee (or tea or whatever you like) and sit around with other people who enjoy writing and write. That's it. No chit chat (well, very little chit chat) just lots of the good writing vibes caused by a gaggle of creative people working in one spot.
1st Sat - 11 am - 1 pm - Speed Writing
Participants are given a writing prompt and a set time to write. After the timer goes off, we read what we wrote. Lather, rinse and repeat for two hours. Not only do you learn more about your fellow writers and how their brains work, you might come up with the perfect scene for later.
2nd Sat - 11 am - 1 pm – Craft/Shop Talk
Members gather to discuss the craft of writing. Meeting moderators vary. Topics are posted on the first of each month on the MeetUp page and all are welcome to throw in their two cents.
3rd Sat - 11 am - 1 pm - Poetry Speed Writing
Same format as the 1st Sat. -Speed Writing, except all prompts are topics for poetry and may even specify forms of poetry. New to poetry or well-known poets - this meeting is for everyone.
4th Sat - 11 am - 1 pm - Story Challenge
We post a new prompt the Monday before on MeetUp. Use the week to write short fiction, long fiction, poetry, non-fiction or anything else the prompt inspires. Then bring your work (in all its first draft glory) on Saturday to share and discuss.
5th Sat - 11 am - 1 pm - Write-In
Like the Thursday Write-In, except on that rarest of beasts … the 5th Saturday of the month.
