The 2018 WGI Gala featured some of our favorite actors reading just some of the amazing writing that comes out of our workshops every year. Watch the full performance from the Gala here, and see the remarks and individual clips of the stories here. Thanks to all of our performers but most of all to the wonderful, brave, funny and extremely human writers who contributed this work!
Our mission: To perpetuate the Art and Craft of Storytelling…
Welcome to the website of the Writer’s Guild Initiative.
We are professional writers, working with groups of people who seek to tell their stories.
We encourage the sharing of experiences, the discovery of unique voices and the creation of communities in service to the craft of storytelling.
