SOUTHERN CHRISTIAN WRITERS
Teena Myers drove an hour one way to attend the Southern Christian Writers Guild that met on the Northshore of New Orleans for a decade when a church friend asked if she would start a writing group on the west bank of New Orleans. Her church allowed her to hold three monthly meetings to see if there was enough interest. The meetings had fifteen in attendance, slightly larger than the meetings on the Northshore. She wasn’t sure where they would meet when she walked into the Gospel Bookstore with a flyer advertising the formation of a Christian writing group. The owner of the bookstore invited Teena to meet in the store, a perfect setting for Christian writers. November 2017, Teena formed a board, and they adopted By-laws. They held the first official meeting January 2018.
