Welcome to the Writers’ Guild!

The Greater Canton Writers’ Guild was founded in 1964 for beginning and professional writers for purposes of learning, discussion, and mutual support. It includes persons of diverse skills who share a common commitment to the craft of writing.

From the beginning, exchanges of ideas, manuscript critiques, and reports of market information have produced lively and informative monthly meetings. Friendships have formed, and poetry, short stories, and books have emerged.

Guild meetings are open to anyone who has an interest in writing. Please join us at our next meeting and bring a writing friend!

Upcoming Events

The Greater Canton Writers’ Guild meets the third Thursday of each month at 6:00 pm. Regular meetings are free and open to anyone with an interest in writing. Please join us at our next meeting and get to know the people of the Guild and the pleasures of writing! Details can be found on the Upcoming Events page.

The next meeting of the Greater Canton Writers’ Guild will be on Thursday, January 19th at 6 pm in the lower level of the DeHoff Building in North Canton.  There will be a short business meeting which will include the Treasurer’s report for 2011 and the introduction of the new officers for 2012.  Come prepared with pen and paper and an open mind….for some writing exercises!
