Fellowship in a Community of Writers of All Ages! |
Critique Groups The guiding principle of the group is to critique, not criticize. We are here to help, not tear down. We are here not to change your unique writing style, but to help you strengthen it. Read more... | Contests | Marketing |
Critique Groups are touted by many members to be the best benefit of membership.
The Palm Springs Writers Guild offers several types of contests throughout the program season. Most contest winners will receive a prize of some denomination. For experienced writers, this may also be an opportunity for creative challenge by writing outside of his/her genre.
