Writers Working For Writers
The Idaho Writers Guild offers networking, employment and educational opportunities as diverse as the writers who join it. In addition to serving as a networking resource for writers wishing to become actively involved in the writing community, the organization provides a collective voice to assist The Cabin (formerly the Log Cabin Literary Center) in planning and developing programs to aid writers.
Writers of all genres are eligible for membership. Those not yet published may apply as Associate members. Those published are listed on the Roster of Professional Writers at The Cabin. All members receive discounts to IWG workshops and events, and an online newsletter. Roster members, additionally, are sent requests that IWG receives for paid work and speaking engagements.
Events include monthly lunches, bi-monthly "Backtalk" discussion sessions, quarterly "Random Readings," and special events such as the upcoming Idaho Writers & Readers Rendezvous , and last year's All About Agents conference:
- "I want you to know that I absolutely LOVED the Agent's weekend. I want to express my gratitude to all of you at the Idaho Writer's Guild and the Cabin for bringing these agents into Boise. I know I wasn't the only one that benefited greatly from this experience!"
"My chapeau is off to you…for creating such an invaluable IWG experience for everyone this weekend. A terrific experience! Thank you so much for all your behind-the-scenes efforts to make this a reality."
"The workshop was great. We enjoyed it very much. Thanks to…the guild for putting it together."
"I just wanted to applaud you…for the fantastic job you did organizing and hosting the conference. It was fun and informative while providing a wonderful opportunity to advance our careers. Bravo!"
The cost to join, for both Roster and Associate members, is $25.00 per year. Also, you must be a member of The Cabin in order to join the Idaho Writers Guild.
The Guild is run by a five-member Governing Committee, elected annually by the membership.
