| International Women's Writing Guild |
Our Mission and History

Mission: IWWG is a network for the personal and professional empowerment of women through writing and open to all regardless of portfolio. Our mission is to provide a safe and supportive environment for women to grow as writers, find outlets for their work, and experience the joy of being in a creative community.
History: IWWG was founded in 1976. Now, after 50 years of enriching women writers’ lives, we are changing with the times. We are sad to say that we are closing our doors in our 50th year. We have enjoyed a strong and active membership, produced regular newsletters, hosted yearly summer conferences and regional events, and published anthologies. We built a catalog of online workshops and also offered free writes, Open Mics, and writing circles. Together, we’ve changed the way women writers’ stories get heard, crafted, and spread around the globe.
The Board of Directors of The International Women’s Writing Guild are listening to some of our members who are investigating ways to continue the Magic and the Spirit of The Guild. If you would like to be involved, contact Kris at scholasticbookfairy@gmail.com.
