Please check out our newly redesigned website!
Over the past month, I have had the pleasure of redesigning the Straw Dog Writers Guild website. It has been inspiring to design new pages and formats to celebrate and promote the excellent work you are all doing in the community. There are many new additions and exciting plans coming from the website too. Please take a look around at www.strawdogwriters.org, visit the updated ‘Bulletin Board’, the new ‘About Us’ and ‘Our Story’ pages.
We are thrilled/excited about new ways for members to promote your work, on our ‘’Meet our Members’ page! (see below for more info). We also have a new resource, our new ‘Literary Community Calendar’, in which all local literary organizations are invited to submit upcoming events.
Below are our new guidelines for submissions for
Straw Dog Writers Guild members:
To have your book cover part of the Straw Dog Bookshelf moving banner on the website
