Michigan Writers Groups and Organizations

As I've delved into the world of indie publishing, I've really missed having a writing community. My writing community has fluctuated over the years. I've been involved in groups, gone to a handful of conferences and tried out online writing collaboration. Lately, my writing community mostly includes podcasts, the kboards and Facebook. Especially as I prepare to publish my second book - out next week - and I 'm searching for launch strategies and other ideas to get some momentum in the Born of Shadows Series.  However, I felt compelled to research writing organizations in Michigan in the hopes of reaching out to some other writers in the non-digital world. If you too are looking to connect with other writers in Michigan - here are some organizations to get you started. Also - feel free to shoot me a message if you want to talk writing!

Michigan Writers: Based in Traverse City, they do writing events, workshops and a Chapbook.

Mid Michigan Writers: Located in West Branch, they offer bi-weekly meeting, events and more.

Rochester Writers: Located in Rochester, they offer an annual conference, events and contests.

The Detroit Writer's Guild: Located in Detroit, they do various writing events and have a variety of member benefits.

    I will be glad to make writers friends. I feel like I have a good energy to write about my experience as writer immigrant in USA since I was refugee untill I became US citizen. But, I need help to do that.
    Thank you
    Sincerely,
    Ahmed
