    About this ebook

    For more than a decade, The Scribe has been the mainstay for communicating with members of the St. Louis Writers Guild. It began as a way to showcase the organization and share insights into the publishing world. Back issues give a wonderful record of the Guild.

    The Scribe is now available to everyone, not just members. It features stories, poems, and essays from our members, as well as information about our events, most of which are open to the public.

    The January 2017 edition features a message from our Guild President; three articles on writing by Terri Luckey, Gerry Mandel and Ryan P. Freeman; and coverage of our December holiday party by Lauren Miller.
