Welcome to Guelph Write Now!
Do you have voices inside your head that won't leave you alone until you get their story down on paper? Good news – you're a writer. And Guelph Write Now is here to help you improve your writing, network with other writers and encourage you especially when you get those nasty rejections. We offer critiques, writing workshops, networking opportunities, plotting and brainstorming help as well as market information.

Check out the about page to find out how we got started. Then, check out the join page if you'd like to join the group and come out to meetings. I'll be updating the schedule of events so people can see what we'll be up to. But the location of the meetings is shown to members only.
CALLS FOR SUBMISSION - I'll be adding a calls for submission page to the site. A list of calls with contact information and a general description of what the publication is looking for. Check back often as I will be updating the list regularly once it's up and running.
SHORT STORY CHALLENGE - To help with the submission calls GWN has a short story challenge loop The loop has a database of submission calls that pay semi-pro and up rates. There will also be challenge prompts sent out to jump start your creativity. Check it out here.
GOALS - Stay tuned for a new goals loop for GWN. Goals are an important part of a writer's life. Here we become accountable for our writing by posting goals and reporting on our progress towards reaching those goals.
NEWS - Congratulations to Kasia for selling her short story to Carousel Magazine! The story was based on one of our meeting exercises! When I know which issue her story is in I'll update this page.
UPDATE - On-line author Q & A chats coming in April! Check out the workshops page for details on speakers Michael H. Payne and Laura Bickle and how to join in on the fun!. Non members are welcome.
