WGGB member networks - The Writers' Guild of Great Britain

Home » WGGB member networks

Writers from under-represented writing groups can meet, network, share experiences and discuss issues relating to writing and the creative industries in a safe space, thanks to WGGB’s series of member networks

The networks have been spearheaded by WGGB’s Equality and Diversity Committee and the issues raised may inform its work in future. The networks are not formal committees or subcommittees in themselves, and no notes or recordings are taken.

Please contact john@writersguild.org.uk if you have any access needs or further questions.
