| History |
Welcome to the Harlem
Writers Guild (HWG) website. The Guild is a 50-year-old organization of
writers dedicated to presenting the experiences of people of African
descent through the written word. We are noted as the oldest
African-American writers group in the United States. Take your time and
browse the site, paying particular attention to the Links on the
far left-hand side. Here, you will find interesting information. For
example, on the History link there is a brief chronicle of HWG
including a list of significant journals HWG members have contributed
to. On the Members link you will be introduced to the current
generation of guilders and, on the Honored Members link, there is
a reintroduction to several HWG co-founders, those who comprise our
“legacy.” Quotes on Writing is a section you will surely find
helpful in your own writing life: affirmations that members use to
improve their personal creative skills. If you are interested in
attending a reading of a HWG contributor or if you would like to take
part in some other social HWG program, check out Events. Are you
interested in reading about what makes a writer a writer? Click
Spotlight On. Of course, in order to be an effective wordsmith, one
must read. Books and Authors identifies what some Guild members
are reading. The Harlem Writers Guild Press link features new
books and writers who are published under our own banner. The Photo
Gallery link takes you to a montage of pictures taken over the
years. Finally, click Links to experience some of our personal,
favorite websites. Again, welcome! Please visit us often.
