Alaska Writers Guild Membership meetings are held the third Tuesday of every month. For meeting locations please check this site. Alaska Writers Guild Meeting Date: Tuesday, August 19, 2008 Time: 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM (please note time change)
2008 Speculative Fiction Workshop This workshop was cancelled by the Board of Directors of the Alaska Writers Guild when insufficient registrations were received to provide for a reasonably effective workshop. Registrations are in the process of being refunded and will be in the mail by the end of July. The Ralph Williams Speculative Fiction Writing Contest was also cancelled by Board action but is being picked up by the Ralph Williams Speculative Fiction Contest, an entity which is not associated with the Guild, although Stephanie Patel continues to chair the contest. The deadline is being extended for submissions. The link to the new website for the contest is www.rwcontest.blogspot.com. You may also contact Stephanie at stpatel@gci.net with any questions. If you have submitted a manuscript you will also soon receive communication regarding the Contest. If you haven’t submitted one yet, take heart—there is a new deadline of September 10, 2008, or until a total of 300 entries are received, which ever occurs first. Check out the new website for additional information.
