Welcome to East Texas Writers Guild
ETWG Mission
The mission of the East Texas Writers Guild is to offer support, education and opportunity for growth to all our members, who are involved in all aspects of writing, publishing, and book marketing, as well as to contribute to the writing community at large locally, nationally and internationally.

Our Next Meeting
Our next members meeting is Monday, December 13th, at 6:30pm. We will once again have a hybrid meeting – in person at the Genecov Room as usual – and online at our normal Zoom meeting room. (Not a member? You can come to up to three general meetings before we ask you to start paying dues.)
We will not have a speaker at this meeting, but will be having a festive holiday party instead. Everyone is encouraged to bring their spouses and their favorite potluck party foods, plus a non-alcoholic beverage to contribute to the party. We will also need people to bring things like plates, cups, and utensils. Please send details about what you’re bringing to Roger Middleton.
If you’d like to participate in the gift exchange, please bring one item per person that is under $10. It can be a silly item or a serious one – the choice is up to you. This year instead of the “Stealing Style Game,” we are doing the “Right/Left Passing Style Game.” Don’t worry if you’ve never played one, it’s lots of fun and very easy!
Looking forward to seeing you next month!
Your,
ETWG BOD

Here’s a picture of the Blackstone Building, aka the Tyler Area Chamber of Commerce Building, taken from its parking lot on E. Line Street. The red arrow points to the entrance of the Genecov Room. There is usually someone at the door to greet you, but if you find the door locked, just give a good knock and someone will come open the door for you.
