The Central Utah Writing Project is pleased to sponsor teacher-initiated and teacher-focused book groups. Book groups will meet at a restaurant (dinner's on each person). Books will be provided by CUWP with the expectation of attendance at the discussion dinner if you take a book; if you want the book, please notify Denee four weeks prior to the date so that it can be ordered. If you would just like to join the discussion or if you have your own copy of the book, let Denee know the two days before the discussion so that space can be arranged for the group size. If you would like to join or start a group, please contact Denee Tyler ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ).

Watch the front page for announcements of new book groups and check out the CUWP Book Group page to see which books our groups have been reading.
