Welcome to the East Texas Writers Guild
ETWG Mission
Established in 2004, East Texas Writers Guild offers our members support, education and opportunity for growth in all aspects of writing, publishing, and marketing.
No matter what kind of writing you do, if you are a writer in the East Texas area, we welcome you! We offer education, support, and opportunity through twice-monthly meetings and good old fashioned camaraderie. Come visit us at our next meeting. We can’t wait to meet you!
