Anthem Authors is a writers' club founded by Helene Moore in 1990 in Sun City Anthem, Henderson, Nevada. It forms the base from which resident authors hone their craft and nurture ideas for future writing projects. Award-winning and commercially successful authors have developed their skills here.
Every Tuesday afternoon, starting at 1 p.m., members gather to read excerpts from works in progress and provide feedback to each other. Readings include fiction and non-fiction. We cover genres from memoirs and mystery to science fiction and humor. Guests are welcome to attend and learn about membership in the club.
Sun City Anthem is an active community with fairs, festivals and club events held every month. Anthem Authors participate and show their work to the public through these events. Authors are available for book signing appearances.
Our club's goal is to foster an interest in writing. To inspire, and to be inspired, by the creativity of its members.
Anthem Authors offer invited guest speakers to share their expertise with the members on topics such as writing a screenplay, creating interesting dialogue, and tips for getting published. If you have an interest in speaking to the group, please contact us at anthemauthors@gmail.com.
Whether you're a published author or dreaming about becoming one, sharing your passion with fellow writers builds confidence and helps you achieve your goals.
