About Pen & Keyboard Writers
Pen and Keyboard Writers was founded in August of 2002 as an affiliate club of Oklahoma Writers Foundation, Inc. based in Edmond, Oklahoma. Today the group is a closed club with a limited number of writers, offering Zoom meetings allowing members and guest speakers to participate from outside the immediate area. The group continues to maintain close ties with and supports OWFI in their activities.
Pen & Keyboard Writers meet monthly to discuss writing, provide feedback on fellow members’ works in progress (as requested), and assist one another in all aspects of the business of writing. The twenty-five writers of Pen and Keyboard provide aid and support to each other through positive reinforcement, skills development, constructive critiques, promotions and mutual respect.
The Pen & Keyboard motto, “Authors Helping Themselves by Helping Others,” is reflected in the group’s active support of member events, annual collaborative short story anthology project, and year-round exchange of advice, critiques, and editing support. Membership is free, with no dues or fees.
