Welcome to our little corner of Northeast Ohio, where stories come to life and writers become published authors! For over 13 years, The Wayne Novelist Guild, an eclectic group of storytellers has gathered-both in person and over Zoom-twice a month on Thursday nights, driven by one common goal: to get our work into the hands of readers. More than half of our members are now published, but that doesn't stop us from supporting each other every step of the way. We hold writing sprints, swap articles, share craft tips, cheer on our writers through book reviews, and show up at their speaking engagements. Whether it's through a workshop, a book festival, or a conference, we find ways to celebrate and uplift our fellow authors. While we welcome new members, we do have a vetting process to ensure a good fit. After all, no matter how different we are as individuals, we stand united in one mission-to see every one of us succeed in publishing. And since we're all just a stone's throw from each other, you never know when a spontaneous gathering or festive get-together might happen. After all, writing can be a solitary journey, but with the right community, it's a much merrier adventure! If you would like to know more or even join the group, contact the Wayne Novelist Guild through their publisher by e-mailing prickleforrestllc@sssnet.
