Mystic Writers
About Us
The Mystic Writers formed in the summer of 2017 in Mystic, CT, when an evening on a screened-in porch sparked interest in conversation, collaboration, and mutual support. We meet regularly to balance the professional necessity of working alone with the satisfaction of interacting with other writers. Eight strong, we are all on different paths – memoirists, novelists, journalists – and yet we have a common vision: to write as well as we can and to tell stories that matter.
