Every post will revolve around the following ideas: EPIC Writing Prompts, EPIC First Lines, Humor about the Writing Life, Publicity for our Members and their Publications, EPIC Craft Books, a Poem of the Day, and much more.  We hope it becomes a daily stop for you in between zoom calls and doom scrolling on the internet.  Keep your chin up and your pens on the page.  We encourage you to follow us: @Epicgroupwiters and #epicgroupwriters.

We Stand in Solidarity
We want to assure our members and the public we serve that our core values are rooted in diversity and inclusion. As a writing organization made up of community members, EPIC GROUP WRITERS is dedicated to providing a safe place for writers of all colors to voice their sense of grief, rage and fear and for the rest of us to listen to their stories and reflect on their experiences.  
 In addition, as a community of writers and artists, we will actively search for ways for all our members to create and share their dreams through listening, expressing, and finding words to build a better future.​
