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!

Overlaid on the photo is a red rectangle with the words "Nutz and Boltz Meeting" in white, all-caps letters. At the bottom, in small white letters on the blue background, is a centered block of text, which reads "Nutz & Boltz is our informal monthly gathering where you can ask questions to help you overcome sticky spots in your writing, learn new techniques, get inspired and also contribute your own expertise and experience to help other writers. Whether you are just starting out or have years of experience, this is the place to be!"

 

Critique Group

When: fourth Monday of every month @ 6:30 PM

Where: through Zoom

Agenda: Want other writers’ opinion on your piece? Get-and give-detailed feedback on submitted pages. Open to all ETWG members. Joining a critique group is both frightening and exhilirating, but it’s also one of the quickest ways to grow as a writer. Email etwritersguild@gmail.com for the Zoom link and password.

 

No matter where you are in your writing journey, come learn, network, be supported, and support others. We believe collaboration and cooperation helps both new and experienced writers.
