Who we are

We’re a part of American Christian Fiction Writers

ACFW Indiana Chapter seeks to encourage writers of Christian fiction, to assist in the development of their skills, to educate them in the market, and provide a source of fellowship.

We are Indiana

Our chapter includes the entire state of Indiana and the writers who live in, work in, or just love the state. We meet as a group several times a year, utilizing both in-person and online events to exchange industry information, share experiences, and to grow in the craft of writing.

We are authors

Pre-published or multi-published, award-winning or just starting out, we try to reach every writer where they are. Covering all genres of fiction, we offer the friendship and support of people who understand the challenges of a writer’s life.

We are Christians

We want to honor God in our writing and in the work we do in the publishing industry. Our meetings include both writing discussion and Christian fellowship.
