439. Shreveport Writers' Club, part 2

439. Part 2 of our interview with Shreveport Writers' Club. Since 1935, the Shreveport Writers Club has been a support group for writers. SWC includes writers from all stages of life in all genres and styles of writing. Many of them are published authors, and others simply enjoy sharing their thoughts in written form with other people who love words. They meet every 1st Saturday of the month from 10:00 am – noon, and they welcome guests.
