CWG Member Wins Tom Howard Award
Posted by Arthur_Powers on Friday, October 10, 2008 (12:59:53) (7 reads)
CWG Member Arthur Powers' short story "The Bridge," won 2nd place in the Tom Howard Short Story Award Contest. "The Bridge," which originally appeared in St. Anthony Messenger and won another award from the Catholic Press Association, is about a priest working in the interior of Brazil. It is always encouraging to see an expressly Catholic story recognized in a secular forum! Another of Arthur's stories (a secular one), "Gilsa," won an honorable mention.

What Can Writers Learn from the Church's Teaching on Media?
Posted by AnnLewis on Monday, August 11, 2008 (15:11:53) (104 reads)
If we were to list 10 things the Second Vatican Council is known for, teaching on media likely would not make the list. The same is true for the great pontificate of John Paul II, where we note his masterful use of the media but rarely any teaching on it.
But the council dedicated one of its first documents, the decree Inter Mirifica, to the subject. And the last major document from the man known as "the media pope" was an Apostolic Letter called "The Rapid Development," all about the media. And there's more: documents, letters, papal addresses, a section in the Catechism.
Note: Kyle Eller is an award winning journalist who has worked in both secular and Catholic media and written and edited hundreds of columns. He is a convert to the Catholic faith and is currently editor of The Northern Cross, the newspaper of the Diocese of Duluth.

Tom Grace is our Chat Guest Spetember 7
Posted by KarinaFabian on Friday, August 29, 2008 (12:44:55) (54 reads)
Our special guest September 7th, 9-11 pm Eastern Time, at the Chat Room.
Tom Grace was born, raised, and presently resides in Southeastern Michigan. He studied architecture at the University of Michigan, earning two degrees in the field. In just over twenty years of practice, Grace has worked on projects ranging from modest home renovations to major urban designs for Chicago and London. Much of his work has involved scientific and engineering research facilities, cutting-edge technologies that invariable find their way into his novels.
Grace credits his second career as a writer in equal parts to a voracious appetite for books, an overactive imagination, and a compulsive desire to set challenging long-term goals for himself. He wrote the first draft of his debut novel over a year’s worth of lunch hours. Spyder Web was published in 1999, and his writing earned favorable comparisons to Ian Fleming and Clive Cussler. Grace’s hero, Nolan Kilkenny, returned in Quantum (2000), Twisted Web (2003), Bird of Prey (2004), and The Secret Cardinal (2007).
In addition to intricately woven plots and break-neck pacing, Grace’s novels are infused with technology that is either state-of-the-art or just over the horizon. His scenarios often seem eerily prescient, so much so that Bird of Prey was cited in a National Security Briefing on the Chinese space program and space-based weaponry.
As both an author and architect, Grace lives by Mies van der Rohe’s famous aphorism: God is in the details. Painstaking research underpins each of his novels, creating the factual foundations that support the stories.
Tom Grace resides in Michigan with his wife, five children and a yellow Labrador in a modernist home of his own design.

CWG Souvenir Shop Open!
Posted by KarinaFabian on Tuesday, April 15, 2008 (19:27:49) (163 reads)
http://www.cafepress.com/cathwritersgld
Hi, everyone!
I'd like to announce that the Catholic Writers' Guild store is open for business! T-shirts and mugs are the primary fare. (Sadly, they don't do pens or notebooks.) Thanks to our resident illustrator, Fish, we have several fun designs to choose from. If you click on the item, the description will tell you the captions.
You'll notice that there is only one type of item per design--the Inspired Minds Logo is on a different t-shirt than the conference one, for example. That's a limitation of the free shop. If we get bigger and start selling well, we can look into the premier shop.
You may also wonder how we came up with the prices. Essentially, I added $1 for the CWG items and $2 for the conference items. ($1 goes to CWG and $1 to the conference funds)
I might add a few more items, but take a look and let me know what you think.
Blessings,
Karina Fabian
aka Madame President

Holy Family,
Guide our minds, our hearts, our hands,
as we write, speak, illustrate –
help our words to live in union with the Word.
Teach us discipline and skill
to use the talents God gives us.
Give us also insight and courage
to convey God's love through our craft,
and humility to be open
to His divine will, shaping our lives,
in loving loyalty to His Church.
In Christ's name,
Amen.
