What is the Foothills Writer's Group?

The Foothills Writer's Group was founded by a group of 8 Okotokian writers in the spring of 2022, on the principle that by pooling their talent, knowledge, experience, and resources, they could help themselves & others become published authors.

Since then, the F.W.G. has expanded to over 40 members; Hosting monthly social meetups & education seminars, the yearly Foothills 6th Grade Writing Competition, and Wordstruck.
