Springfield Writers’ Guild provides in-house writing contests three times a year. You must be a member to participate. The goal of these contests is to help writers hone their skills and provoke the imagination. SWG members select the winners by reading blind copies (no author given). Awards will be given at the April meeting.
The SWG spring literary contest runs from January – March 31.
