If You Love To Write...
Welcome to our inclusive group of writers! We grow from all genres and levels of experience. Formerly the Sandpoint Chapter of the Idaho Writers League, after 81 years the state group disbanded and we became Sandpoint Writers on the Lake. Many of us are published, while others write for personal enjoyment. Join us!

Writing Resources
As you press forward with your writing, we know that sometimes it's easy to get stuck. Soon we'll compile and share our own writing, editing, and marketing resources to assist you on your journey as a self-published, indie author or as an author-at-large. For now, we've linked to a writing learning center. If you belong to other writers groups with resources to share, we'd love to hear from you. Contact us.
