About UPWC
The UP Writers Club has been the University of the Philippines’ finest literary organization since its inception in 1927.
The Club has not just continually produced Philippine literary giants (8 National Artists for Literature were UPWC members namely Virgilio Almario, Edith Tiempo, Francisco Arcellana, F. Sionil Jose, NVM Gonzales, Jose Garcia Villa, Nick Joaquin, and Bienvenido Lumbera) but society movers as well. The UP Writers Club is determined to live and perpetuate its legacy of literary excellence and social commitment. The Club continues to nest the next generation of writers by holding regular writing workshops, literary readings, organizing the Writers Night and other significant events in cooperation mostly with the UP Institute of Creative Writing (UP ICW), Unyon ng Manunulat sa Pilipinas (UMPIL) and the National Commission for Culture and Arts (NCAA). The Writers Club just celebrated its 80th Anniversary last year.

HI UP Writers Club,
I became a member of the UPWC in the 1980s, after being a fellow of the 13th National Writers Summer Workshop.
Are you folks planning any reunions soon? Would love to hear from you.
Thanks,
Melanie Manlogon-Victoriano
i fell sorry to read an answer to someone who ask about your club,it is a mocked,to state,sorry ka na lang kc for up campus lng ito.UP is one of an oldest university in our country,and most of our prolific writers breeds on there.I know it is good if you open your doors to some artist whose dream laid on the dark dusty closets.Why cater your own grasses and tried to ignore the woodlands.
Its a shame.
Hi Mr. Siao,
Thanks and we appreciate your comment. Unfortunately, we have already set our submission guidelines for the year.
We will, however, keep your comment in mind.
Best,
UPWC
