OCWI consists of writers experienced in all genres, published, getting published, or new to the literary arts. Each month, we invite speakers on different aspects of writing—publishing, marketing, submitting to agents, and the new world of publishing technology.
Since 1914, OCWI has contributed to literary achievement in Oklahoma and inspired the creative talent of its members. Today, we add to that desire and give fellow writers, of all ages and ability, a place to find support and companionship.
Guests are welcome. OCWI is an affiliate of the Oklahoma Writers' Federation, Inc. (OWFI).
