Writers Accountability Group

• Dates: First Thursday of the month: February - June 2026

• Time: 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM

• Location: Arts at The Palace, 19 Utica St., Hamilton, NY 13346

• Cost: This is a free monthly workshop. Registration not required, simply join us in person!

The Writers Accountability Group (WAG) is a free monthly opportunity for writers of all ages and genres to come together in person to offer mutual support, motivate accountability and goal-setting, explore writing-related challenges, and share helpful insights.

WHAT TO BRING: 

• something to write with (pen and paper or laptop)

• (optional) your current writing project

• (optional) water and a snack for the break

HOW IT WORKS: 

Each meeting will last 90-minutes, starting with a goal-setting and checking-in period. Be prepared to share a writing goal for which you’d like to be held accountable. Following that, we will have a snack break and then divide into smaller groups (based on participant preferences) for quiet writing, or craft talk / feedback on a short selection from a participant’s work-in-progress (craft talk topic or feedback session determined each meeting for the next meeting). 

Each meeting will be facilitated by Writers Accountability Group (WAG) alumnae Joan E. McCarthy, Kit Boyer, and Abby Palko.
