Hello, former Guildies!

We’re reaching out to our former members from the early years of the Guild.

Do you remember those days when the Guild was young and we thought we'd become a force for Catholic writers? We're doing it! We've launched probably a hundred careers, have strong relationships with Catholic publishers, and are becoming the premier place for new Catholic writers to learn the craft.

We know there are plenty of reasons for dropping out of the Catholic Writers Guild. Maybe finances got hard. Maybe you’ve been too busy to write. Or maybe the Guild wasn’t really meeting your needs.

We’re checking in to see if things have changed for you and to let you know that the Guild has grown stronger than ever. We have over 500 members, two annual conferences, retreats, and more. Our Heartbeat chat room is extremely active, with dozens of chat threads, 6 critique groups, local meet-ups, and even a book club.

We’re working hard to get members more benefits. You already get discounts on all Guild activities, plus some promotional opportunities through the Catholic Marketing Network. We’re also looking for more discounts, reviving our speaker’s bureau, and more. We're back to the exciting days of growth after a long plateau.

If you’ve been looking for support for your writing, we are here, and we’d love to have you back. Dues are still only $40! Go to https://catholicwritersguild.org/renewal to renew or check out the website for more information.

God bless you in all you do!

Karina Fabian

President, Catholic Writers Guild
