Since 1984, the Monadnock Writers’ Grouphas supported local writers of all genres and levels of achievement. Monthly meetings, held on the third Saturday of each month, bring a variety of writers to the Monadnock to offer their experiences. In addition, MWG publishes periodic anthologies and “Smoky Quartz,” a semiannual online journal of literature and art. Throughout the year MWG hosts contests, public readings and informal gatherings to raise awareness of the literary talent in the Monadnock region.
