Kansas City's Source of Literary Expression!

The Writers Place, Midwest Center for the Literary Arts, Inc., has been serving the midwest community since 1992.

Located in the heart of Kansas City, The Writers Place is a literary community center, library, and gathering place for writers, readers and the general public.

Our role in the community is to provide support, resources, guidance and inspiration for those in our region who care about the "word" as art.
