Who Can Join the SWG
Membership in the SWG is open to Saskatchewan and Canadian writers, as well as
anyone interested in Saskatchewan writers. Membership is open to individuals,
professional associations, organizations, and partnerships. You do not need to be a
writer. You may simply be interested in supporting Saskatchewan writers or staying
current with Saskatchewan's literary scene.
If you are a writer, you will find a home with the SWG, no matter what kind of writing
you do. Our members write fiction, nonfiction, poetry, plays, radio documentaries,
songs, newspaper columns, screenplays, business material, television dramas, and
more.
Similarly, you are welcome to join the SWG regardless of how long you have been
writing. You may be just thinking about writing your first poem, or you may be a
seasoned veteran with many published books to your credit.
Rates (Annual)
