The Kansas City Writers Group was founded in 1965 by Wilma Yeo. The organization has met continuously since that time. Approximately 40 members gather each semester plus, several charter members also frequently attend. We will celebrate our 50th anniversary in 2015. 

Wilma Yeo was the author of some ten published works in both prose and poetry. They include picture books for children, mystery books for pre-teens, and a biography of Thomas Hart Benton written with Helen K. Cook. 

Her works include Mrs. Neverbody's Recipes, 1968; Mystery of the Third Twin, 1972; Oliver Twister and His Big Little Sister, 1973; Maverick With a Paint Brush; The story of Thomas Hart Benton, 1977; Gypsy Summer, 1986; Girl in The Window, 1988, and Stranger at Winfield House, 1989.  She was also the recipient of the 1992 Edgar Wolfe Literary Award.
