A new monthly writers’ group has emerged in Excelsior Springs, offering local writers a welcoming space to connect, share, and hone their craft. Led by award-winning children’s book author and poet Jill Clark, the group invites writers of all backgrounds and experience levels to come together for feedback, inspiration, and mutual support.

Excelsior Springs was once a mecca for visitors seeking the healing powers of its mineral-rich Lithia Wells. Now, as local advocates initiate plans to restore these historic springs, residents and history enthusiasts alike look forward to rediscovering the water that once claimed to cure a range of ailments.
