Fort Bend Writers Guild is an active Houston, Texas area writers group. Weekly meetings are held every Monday at Barnes & Noble Sugar Land from 7 to 9 p.m. Visitors are welcome on a one-time basis. After that, membership is required.

Our weekly critique meetings are devoted to helping each other polish manuscripts for publication. Our members are writing what is best described as "mass market" and "genre" novels, including mystery, romance, historical, women's interests, sci-fi, young adult, and children's stories. Almost all genre are welcome.

In addition to weekly meetings, Fort Bend Writers Guild sponsors writers workshops and writing competitions. We also usually have a Christmas season social gathering for members and their significant others.
