In the summer of 1995, writers David Roper and Norman Martin hosted a presentation, "How to Get Started Writing", at the Searcy Library. At that event, eight people signed an interest sheet in forming the group. When the group convened on August 28, 1995, twenty-four people attended, and White County Creative Writers was formed. Now maintaining a membership of 25-30, WCCW meets on the 4th Monday n
ight of each month. Meetings are currently held at the First Community Bank Building, 800 East Beebe Capps Expressway at 6:30pm. Beginning in 2025, WCCW was chosen to oversee and host the annual Arkansas Writers Hall of Fame induction. WCCW Officers for 2025
