Sometimes one size doesn’t fit all. That’s why we offer Genre Groups that address your writing interests in more personal ways. You are welcome to sit in on any of the groups. Contact the leader for specific dates and times. *NOTE: This is a perk of SWG membership. You must be a member of the Springfield Writers’ Guild to participate.
