The Greater Canton Writers' Guild was founded in 1964 for beginning and professional writers for purposes of learning, discussion, and mutual support.  It includes persons of diverse skills who share a common commitment to the craft of writing.

From the beginning, exchanges of ideas, manuscript critiques, and reports of market information have produced lively and informative monthly meetings.  Friendships have formed, and poetry, short stories, and books have emerged.

Guild meetings are open to anyone who has an interest in writing. Please join us at our next meeting and bring a writing friend!

 

Announcements

 

    New officers for 2010 are listed to the right.

 

    The winner of the slogan contest was Caroline Totten with: "The Writer has the last word.”  Her entry was chosen from a list of 65 by a panel of three volunteers, Eleni Byrnes, Leilani Barkan, and Sally Stewart.

 

    Leilani Barkan stepped down from her position as Guild Historian to take on the responsibilities of Events Coordinator.  In addition to advertising for the Guild at First Fridays, she will be taking care of this year’s events and workshops.

 

   Sally Stewart has graciously volunteered to continue as the Guild Notes Editor.
