The Catholic Writers' Guild
Are you a Catholic writer loyal to the Magisterium and looking for a
group of like-minded writers determined to assist each other in our
publishing goals?
Are you an editor, publisher, or illustrator interested in furthering
the development of quality faith-filled writings?
If so, the Catholic Writers' Guild may be for you.
The Catholic Writers' Guild is a group of writers, artists, editors, illustrators, and allies whose mission is dedicated to building a vibrant Catholic literary culture. We do this by encouraging each other to create, publish, perform, and share our work, by reflecting upon core Catholic values in art, and by networking among ourselves and with others within the faith and literary communities.
Our organization is loyal to the teaching authority of the Church. Our regular and alumni members are practicing Catholic writers, while institutional members are persons or companies supportive of Catholic writing; institutional members need not to be Catholic, but sympathetic to Catholic practices and morals.

Catholic Arts and Letters Award Postponed to 2013
Sunday, December 04, 2011 (23:39:27)
|
|
Due to a combination of unfortunate circumstances, the CALA is being postponed until 2013. The award will be extended to cover both 2011 and 2012 titles. Those books that have already been submitted will be held to compete next year. We regret the inconvenience.
The CALA for Fiction is awarded to authors of works of fiction in which judges find exemplary literary merit. All submissions must first be awarded the Catholic Writers Guild’s Seal of Approval, a process by which books are reviewed by a Catholic panel to certify that content does not disregard Catholic doctrine. |

The Catholic Writers Conference Online is March 17-31 at http://catholicwritersconference.com. This is a free online writers conference covering everything from writing to publishing to marketing. We will have the workshop section, where you have a week to work in forum on various topics, from March 17-24. March 24-31 will be devoted to one-hour informational chats. Remember, the conference is here for you--you can attend as much or as little as you wish and your schedule allows.
If you have attended the conference in the past two years, you are registered, though you might want to be sure you remember your password. If you can't log in at http://catholicwritersconference.com, then e-mail Karina at karina(at)fabianspace.com, and she'll help you.
If you have NOT attended in the past two years, then you need to register before March 1. Registration is easy. Go to http://catholicwritersconference.com and click on Register in the banner area (lower left of the banner, above the menu.) (Please note that being registered with the Catholic Writers Guild does not automatically register you for the conference. They are two different websites.)
We are still looking for presenters. If you teach a workshop or have a topic you can teach for an hour in an online chat, please fill out the survey at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/SXJVLJW before March 1. If you have questions on how it works, e-mail Karina at karina(at)fabianspace.com.
Hope to see you at the conference! |

CWG Prayer
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.
