International
Women's Writing Guild
From the Guild's Web site: The
IWWG, founded in 1976, is a network for the personal and professional empowerment
of women through writing and open to all regardless of portfolio. As such, it
has established a remarkable record of achievement in the publishing world, as
well as in circles where lifelong learning and personal transformation are valued
for their own sake. The Guild nurtures and supports holistic thinking by recognizing
the logic of the heart--the ability to perceive the subtle interconnections between
people, events and emotions- alongside conventional logic.
