The Appalachian Authors Guild will be issuing a call for original writings in an effort to encourage writing among young people.  The writing contest will be in conjunction with the annual Heritage Writers Symposium and cash prizes in the form of scholarships will be awarded.  Check back for more details.

Guild Members will have opportunities to showcase their works at upcoming events throughout the region.  If you haven't signed up for one or more event, contact me.

We need new members in the Guild.  I look forward to a time when our ranks will swell to the thousands across this great Southern Appalachian Region.  There is such a wealth of talent from which to draw.  Everyone has a chance to bring in new members, to encourage and assist new writers, to further the Guild's state purpose of  promoting the written art form in Appalachia.
