Do you remember the first time you were published? Whether it was in your local newspaper, a writing contest, or a small press publication—the thrill and excitement of seeing your name in print filled you with such joy you couldn't help but smile, hug the piece to your chest and proclaim: "I'm a writer!" The Saskatchewan Writers' Guild (SWG) celebrates this pride with the contributors, new and emerging writers, each time we publish Spring and Windscript. These publications not only provide emerging writers with a place to show their work, but the opportunity to publish gives them much-needed validation and encouragement to advance their writing. Help spread the delight by donating to our publications. Your generosity supports the SWG in continuing to provide publication opportunities to writers. A donation today helps to support Saskatchewan writers of tomorrow! Direct from the source: “The Saskatchewan Writers Guild provides numerous benefits and opportunities for writers at all stages of development. Being published in Spring magazine this year was one of the best opportunities I have had as a writer. After the initial rush of drafting a prose piece I thought had possibility, I then found myself struggling with how to move it along the path to publication. After carefully reviewing the submission guidelines for this publication and eventually receiving acceptance I found unexpected growth and confidence as a writer. From working with an amazing editor who provided support and insights into the editing process; to reading the polished piece after publication with fellow writers at the Zoom launch; to the engaging support every step along this journey from the SWG team; and to the brilliant design of the magazine, this was a fabulous experience. Many thanks to the Saskatchewan Writers Guild!”- Linda Meyer, contributor in Spring Magazine, volume 15 "Being included among so many incredible emerging writers in spring has helped me feel at home in my work and in the larger community of Saskatchewan writers. Spring gives those of us who are still sprouting the chance to be recognized as part of an ever-blossoming and deeply-rooted literary community. Having participated in both in-person and online launches, I can confidently say that the SWG staff and Spring editors make the entire process a genuine celebration of writing. For emerging writers, spring offers something invaluable: confidence, connection, and the encouragement we need to keep going."- Rhea McFarlane, contributor in Spring Magazine, volume 15
