The Authors of the Flathead is a group of writers from all around northwest Montana. We range from novelists to non-fiction writers, screen to short story writers and poets to journalists.

Our primary goal is to help one another become better writers. We've been doing this for nearly thirty years and have plenty of success stories to share.

Membership is open to anyone who is interested, any age and regardless of your writing experience. Come to one of our weekly meetings and see if we can't help you too.
