The Rockford
Writers' Guild is a non-profit organization committed to promoting the
literary arts in Rockford, Illinois, and
beyond.
Talented authors from all over the
world can be published twice a year on the fine and well
known pages of The Rockford Review
- an anthology comprised mainly of
book reviews, poetry, and short
fiction.
Occasionaly, writers also
submit other literary forms to be
published, like short memoir, one-act play,
monologue, and songwriting. The Rockford
Review awards cash prize
for one prose and one poem, as Editor's Choice
Prize.
Guild members
receive Write
Away – a monthly newsletter containing
valuable tips and information for writers: news about the
writing market; members publicity; contests
announcements; resources and tools for writers;
etc.
The Rockford Writers' Guild hosts monthly
meetings where guest speakers are invited to share their
stories and writer's experiences. Members help one another
and share their accomplishments and challenges. Everyone
contributes with helpful information and insights. The
meetings are free and open to the public.
The Guild's website offers resources
to writers, and ways to spread their words. It's a
means to keep writers in contact with other
writers, exchange information, promote
themselves, and find out what's going on in the
field.
Writers receive support to perfect their
craft and to be published. RWG sponsors two contests
per year: the RWG Press &
A Plus Book Contest, and Ides
of March Contest.
