DuPage Writers Group is a vibrant non-for-profit writing group which meets monthly to help nurture the potential of writers at all levels. We are dedicated to encouraging the creative voice in each person that brings out the positive spirit producing edifying writing for sharing with others. We are also a publishing company which publishes an annual journal named Possibilities. As stated in our journal publication, we do not welcome gratuitous violence, language, and sexual content. We meet the second Monday of the month from 7:00pm-9:00pm, September-December in the Horizon Room at the Carol Stream Public Library. See Schedule of Events, below for meeting/speakers series dates.
