Welcome to the Rehoboth Beach Writers' Guild

The Rehoboth Beach Writers’ Guild is founded on the belief that as writers we can--and should--use our skills and talents to help give voice to the many people who have important and necessary stories to tell that, for whatever reason, are not being told. Through our Free Writes! Reading Series and Young Writers’ Program, we hope to educate, encourage and nurture writing of all kinds at all skill levels.
-- Maribeth Fischer, Founder  & Executive Director

The Rehoboth Beach Reads Short Story Competition is offering a $500 first prize for short fiction or nonfiction pieces using the theme “The Beach House.” A panel of judges will select the best entries, which will be published in a professionally designed paperback book; there is a $10 fee to enter, and the guidelines and entry information are available at www.rehobothbeachreads.com.
