Did You Know?

Our members matter, so we promote them and their work in many ways.

TIP OF THE HAT

Each month we mention our members' accomplishments and plans in our newsletter.


SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS

When members receive awards, schedule book launches or other events, we include social media posts on our social media platforms to help them publicize.


PRESS RELEASES

For each member whose work is included in our anthology, we send press releases to papers local to their neighborhoods to announce them.


We Offer the Following Benefits


MANUSCRIPT CRITIQUE PROGRAM

Having fresh eyes on your manuscript is useful, especially when it's from experienced fellow writers and editors. SDWEG members get the opportunity to draw on that expertise for a nominal extra fee.


MONTHLY NEWSLETTER

Get caught up on the latest news of the Guild through The Guilded Newsletter, which includes upcoming events, members' recent book publications and awards, and much more.

Access to the newsletter is limited to logged-in members. 


ANTHOLOGY SUBMISSIONS

A compilation of themed, imaginative short stories, poems, and essays written by SDWEG members has been published annually since 2012. All members are invited to submit writings for consideration. Selected members are invited to read at the launch of the anthology.


MONTHLY MEETINGS AND PRESENTATIONS

Learn valuable information about the art of writing, editing, publishing, marketing, and much more (no charge for members, nominal charge for guests). Most presentations are hosted on Zoom with occasional in-person meetings each year.



AUTHOR MARKETING SUPPORT GROUP

Selling your book presents plenty of challenges and SDWEG will help you along the way, including with our monthly author marketing support group followed by Q&A and discussion.


WORKSHOPS

The Guild offers opportunities to delve deeper with greater participation in interactive workshops from writing and editing experts. Be prepared to share your work or do some writing in the workshops. Nonmembers pay the cost of membership to take part and become a member of the Guild.
