Green Bay Area

The next gathering of the Green Bay Area Writers Guild is tonight, Tuesday, June 2nd. We start at 5:30 and wrap up by 7:30 at Bay Family Restaurant on the corner of 9th Street and Military Avenue on Green Bay’s west side. We meet in the back conference room by the hotel check-in desk and bathrooms.

If you would like to eat and mingle with other writers, please arrive at 4:30 to order food and dine before the meeting.

We may relocate to accommodate more writers. Check back.

Feel free to socialize with those attending to learn more about our craft. It’s an open forum among friends. We are published authors and novice writers, so ask questions.

Guests are always welcome. Come and see what we’re all about.  You can also find us on Face Book.

—–Writing prompt—–

Describe the first thing to smell the next time you walk into a grocery store.

Check out the posts on our blog page. Blogs help writers become “published.”

Surveys suggest that 80% of people would like to write a book. The percentage who do is just one percent (1%)!

Our goal is helping members (and guests) learn more about writing, editing, publishing, legal issues, marketing, public relations, and other aspects of becoming published authors. After introductions and sharing good news–like a new book coming out, winning a contest, or getting published in a magazine–we offer education on an important writing topic. Then members and guests can share what they have written or are writing. This site also has a reference page.

If you would like to share something you’ve written, please let the moderator know when the meeting begins. You will be given time to read and get feedback; just let us know what input is wanted.

We offer a critique page for members to evaluate the writing of other members. Use this link for instructions.

Check out our blogs and feel free to submit one for consideration. They usually post on Thursdays…but not always.

2026 Guild Gatherings:  June 2nd, July 7th, August 4th, September 1st, October 6th, November 3rd, and December 1st. Stay tuned should dates change.

There are no membership fees but if you become active and involved we will build a personal page for you on this site. We can link it to your site or where your work can be found. We merely ask for a voluntary contribution to cover the cost of website hosting. If interested, please attend a meeting.

If you have information about a writing contest, please let us know and we’ll post it on our Contests Available page. See menu.
