Welcome to the San Antonio Writers Guild (SAWG)
The San Antonio Writers Guild is an organization of writers of all kinds and all levels of experience. Our purpose is to share information among all writers and help each other grow in our craft. Through contests, critique and other communication we are a friendly, invaluable fellowship.
COME TO A MEETING
A best first step for any new or established writer, whether you are new to the San Antonio area or have lived here for a long time, is to come to our first-Thursday-of-every-month meeting. There you will find advice, support and encouragement from like-minded people in your area. Each meeting offers workshops, programs and the chance at making new friends, acquaintances and possibly some valuable connections in the industry. Well, it could happen.
