Welcome to the East Texas Writers Guild!

We are glad you are here, and encourage you to look around.  We have a lot to offer writers of all genres, including monthly meetings, workshops and good old fashioned camaraderie.

ETWG Board of Directors meet Monday, February 1st at 6:00 pm at McAllisters in Tyler. 

All members are encouraged to attend.  McAllisters is located at 4325 Old Bullard Road in Tyler, just off the Loop. 

February Speaker/Topic:
Dr. Jerry Hopkins / 
The ETBU Christian Writers Conference

Not many people have achieved the level of professional, intellectual, and personal success as Dr. Jerry Hopkins, Professor of History at the East Texas Baptist University in Marshall, Texas. In addition to being a professor and teacher, Dr. Hopkins has also served as a pastor in Kentucky, Texas, and Great Britain.

A man well-traveled, Dr. Hopkins has visited fourteen countries, and he has studied at numerous institutions which include such diverse places as Eastern Kentucky University in Richmond, Kentucky; Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and Texas Christian University in Ft. Worth; Oxford University in Oxford, England; and Texas A&M.

Dr. Hopkins’s writing credentials are also impressive. He has written articles and book reviews for numerous publications such as The East Texas Historical Journal and The Quarterly Review. He is a member of several organizations, including serving as a sponsor for the East Texas Christian Writers Conference.

As a writer, Dr. Hopkins knows about the importance of keeping a journal and he will be sharing that experience with us at our next meeting. He will also have a word or two to say about why you should attend the East Texas Christian Writers Conference this coming April.


ETWG meets Monday, February 8, 2010, in downtown Tyler at the Chamber of Commerce at 6:30 pm.  For more information and to RSVP, please contact us at etwg@hotmail.com.

Our members are more than happy to answer any question you may have about ETWG and how you can join.  Visitors are always welcome, but after three meetings we encourage you to join in order to keep receiving our monthly newsletter, The Next Chapter, and other timely writing information that we share through TNC and e-mail.
