Who We Are
The London Writers Society (LWS) was founded in 2007 to provide community, information and exposure for new and experienced writers in and around London, Ontario. We welcome those eager to directly engage other members, as well as those who prefer to digest our resources at their own pace.
LWS is particularly proud of our inclusivity to writers at all levels. Members include those interested in writing, budding authors, writing educators, and widely-published authors. (Visit our Authors Profiles page to read their biographies and explore their work.)
Writing can be a fulfilling yet isolating experience. Join us. Let’s get lost in pages full of words together.

Membership in the London Writers Society is the best writing bargain you’ll find! It costs only $40 a year to join our inclusive, creative community. Not sure? We welcome you to attend a meeting or two before you join. Please email info@londonwriterssociety.ca for details.
It’s easy to join! You can sign up in person at one of our monthly meetings, mail us a cheque, or purchase a membership right here, online.
How We Support London & Area Authors
At the LWS, we particularly seek to help writers find a sense of community as we engage in a craft that is both uniquely self-enlightening and yet at times isolating. Our activities reflect this focus.
