Hello….Mailing my (new) membership dues today and want to introduce myself. I live in Port Townsend, WA and write nonfiction and inspirational fiction. My most recent novel is titled Reading to Jane. I’m currently working on a nonfiction project. Lots of info on my website. Best, Carole
Welcome, Carole!
I’ve read Carole Marshall’s novel on my Kindle. A engaging, authentic read about loss and renewal.
Greetings! So excited to join this awesome group who share my passion for writing. The check is in the mail! I live in Knoxville, TN, where my husband serves the New Hope Presbyterian Church. My first book was published in October of 2014, titled, “Life With Charley: A Memoir of Down Syndrome Adoption.” Please visit my blog at http://www.lifewithcharley.blogspot.com
I wish you every blessing. –Sherry Palmer
How do I pay with PayPal? Also, is writing about religious stuff required? I am an historian, although my baccalaureate was about the role of the Dutch Reform religion in Apartheid.
Anne, I need to send you a payPal fund request for dues. And feel free to write about anything. Bill Lancaster

I am interested in joining this writing guild, but have a question. Mainly, do I need to be a member of a PCUSA church? I am a member of an ELCA church, but have been a part of the PCUSA denomination in the past. My dad is a PCUSA pastor in Kentucky (Bardstown Presbyterian Church). I graduated from Louisville Presbyterian Seminary with a Master’s of Arts degree (1998). I write on a number of topics. Thank you for your reply.
Scott. We would be happy for you to join. Let us know if you have trouble finding the link.
I’m sending a check. I got an email last year offering only one way to pay, Paypal, and I don’t use that program. I’m including last year’s dues with this form for 2019. Thanks. Please offer more than one way to pay in future.
Honest Greetings Health and Cheer, to you and yours. Will join very soon. I have a 20 year old Tragi-comedy, Canterbury 2020 on Kindle: about a disaster that failed…set amid a fraternity secession and the recent Episcopalian disruption.
May the year 2020 see several “failed disasters.”
Just released my first book, “Fine Lines: Walking the Labyrinth of Grief and Loss” on Feb. 12, 2021. It combines personal narrative, pastoral reflection and original prayers dealing with the unexpected and sudden loss of my husband of 41 years, 361 days. I also blog weekly at http://www.kathyswaar.com.
Hi Emily,
For some reason I’ve not joined the PWG before, even though I’ve been writing for Presb. Today, the Presb. News Service, & a host of others for over 40 years. As they say, better late than never.
I am sending you the required form and check and will look forward to joining such a select group. I have always been amazed at how much creativity there is in our church..
Thanks for your service.
Ed McNulty
