Southern Christian Writer’s Guild has met for over a decade on the North Shore of New Orleans and welcomes Christian writers of all genres. In 2017 the door opened to expand to the Westbank of New Orleans. The West bank group is affiliated with but operates independently of the North Shore. We meet at 10:30 AM on the third Saturday of the month January – October in the Gospel Book Store, Westside Shopping Center, 91 Westbank Expressway, Gretna LA 70053. (The time on the video is incorrect as we recently changed the meeting time to 10:30.)
We offer educational information for writers of all levels as well as training in marketing and professional speaking. The meetings are free and open to the public. Email teena@scwguild.com for more information.

Treehouse Publishers is sponsoring an author expo in Picayune MS. This is a great opportunity for writers to exhibit and sell their books as well as to get to know other Mississippi and Louisiana authors. Please visit http://msauthorexpo.com for complete details. Dr. June Knight will be live streaming personal interviews with each author.
We are very excited about this rare opportunity for dynamic exposure of talented Mississippi and Louisiana authors. Thank you for sharing this information to all who may have an interest.
