Mobile Writers Guild

We ended our formal ‘25-‘26 year with a bang: cupcakes, an election, and what dialog tags NOT to use. Y’all know which one I’m referring to.

A big congratulations are in order for the release of cj petterson Author’s third thriller, A TIME TO D*E. The Guild was happy to celebrate the launch with delicious cupcakes.

Freelance editor Joyce Scarbrough shared editing tips from self-editing before you submit, to what it’s like to work with an editor and what kind your manuscript needs, whether it’s developmental to line editing.

And we’re excited to announce our new officers for the ‘26-‘27 year:
President Joyce Sterling Scarbrough
Co-Vice President Michelle Nimtz
Treasurer Candice Marley Conner Author
Secretary Cassandra Dunnavant

UPDATE: 2nd Co-VP is Mike Herndon

Our April meeting was all about research on and off the page thanks to authors and MWG officers Carrie Dalby - Author Page and Joyce Scarbrough Books.

Be sure to put our May 7th meeting on your calendar when we’ll vote for next year’s officers and discuss working with an editor ✍🏻
