​The Rehoboth Beach Writers Guild is founded on the belief that the writing—and sharing—of our stories matters. We are enormously proud of our many published writers, but publication isn’t our ultimate goal. What matters is the telling of the story, whether that happens while sitting around a table at a FreeWrite!, standing before an audience at one of our monthly readings, sharing drafts of one’s writing in a workshop—or publishing. Regardless of a writer’s genre or skill level, the Rehoboth Beach Writers Guild offers education, encouragement and above all, a nurturing community of people who care about–and value–words.

Night of Songs and Stories
Third Mon of the month
5-615p

Join us monthly for a Night of Songs and Stories. The evening features original readings (300 words or fewer) by Guild members and music by local musicians Stuart Vining & Amy Felker.

Each month a theme is posted and both the writers and musicians write/perform pieces that in some way connect to this theme.

Art in the A.M.
​
Second Wed of the month 10-11:15a
Art in the A.M. is a monthly show featuring artwork, readings and music. Each month we post pictures of three pieces by local artists. Writers choose one piece that inspires them to write 300 words or less. On the day of the event, writers read their pieces, the artist displays and talks about their work, and Stuart Vining provides music that ties it all together. 

Writer's Book Club
​
The in-person book club for Guild members meets the fourth Tues of the month. For details, click here.

Writer's Coffee and Chat
Every Wed 4p
Writing can be lonely. Sometimes we need to be with other writers to talk—or to listen to ideas related to writing—in a casual, free-style discussion. 

​Go to Writer's Coffee and Chat for details. ​​


Opportunities for Guild Members

Guild Member-Only Beta Reader Program

The Guild created a Beta Reader program to connect writers with readers who are willing to provide constructive comments and suggestions on manuscripts that are approaching readiness for publication. 
  • For Readers: If you enjoy diving into new stories and helping authors polish their work, this may be the opportunity for you. Fill out a quick form to be added to our list of available readers. When a request is received from a writer, an email will be sent to all volunteers. If the genre/topic of the manuscript is of interest, you will contact the writer directly and you will work together to agree on the timing, format, and process for providing feedback.
  • For Writers: If you are a writer seeking feedback, review the Checklist for Writers to confirm you’re ready to request beta readers. Then complete a form that will be sent to our volunteers. Interested readers will contact you directly.
More information and program forms can be found on the Beta Reader Program webpage.
