About Me

Formed in 1947 as a nonprofit corporation, the Rockford Writers' Guild exists solely to promote the literary arts and to nurture the individuals who pursue self-expression through prose and poetry.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Published and unpublished writers, patrons of the arts, lovers of literature, bookworms, other assorted bibliophiles, quaint lexicographers, and compulsive readers of labels and cereal boxes. Members of all literary tastes are welcome, whether your palate prefers science fiction, poetry, satire, drama, history, or mystery.
