Supporting Writers Since 2005
For nearly two decades, the Mississippi Writers Guild has been a vital force in cultivating writers across the state, from emerging students to established authors. Since its founding in 2005, MWG has provided programs to empower Mississippi voices through community-based chapters, statewide workshops, youth competitions, and unforgettable conferences featuring acclaimed speakers from across the literary world.
