What's new?  Writing Support Groups are new. ​Well, not really new. They've been around for a while, but just not well publicized. What are they? Where and When are they held? Who can attend? Wonder no longer. HWG’s sponsored and recommended writing support groups are alive and well. You can discover all about them on the website by clicking the “SUPPORT GROUPS” item in the main menu or by clicking here .

Well, it’s finally here, the third edition of Member News, our every-so-often-but-getting-more-frequent Guild newsletter for members. And members is the operative word here! Everything in the new, third edition of Member News, every word, every sentence, every article is of, for, or about our members. The New Members and Just Published sections are all about our members. The Featured Stories section features articles about or authored by members, and the Genre Corner and Transitions sections, again, are centered on members new and old. So just drag your pointer up to Guild News item on the main menu and click on the submenu entitled “MEMBER NEWS THREE” and enjoy exploring and learning all about yourselves, our members.

The Hawaii Writers Guild YouTube channel has just introduced a new series of videos. In addition to our previous video offerings of Inside the Writers Studio and Write On!, we now have a third series called Hawaii Writers Showcase, featuring brief readings of selected writings by individual HWG members. Our first video in this new series features member Wendy Wilson reading a story from her collection of writings. You can hear and watch Wendy reading “The Other One” here.  Keep your eyes open for the next episode of Hawaii Writers Showcase coming in a few weeks. More will follow on a regular basis. We'll announce new episodes periodically via our GoogleGroup email channel. While watching the pilot, just click on the red box below the video on the right that says “subscribe.” Several members are lined up to record their readings and we'll reach out when more are needed. In the meanwhile, you can go to our YouTube channel any time to see if there are any new videos. Mahalo nui loa to member Johnson Kahili for spearheading this new addition to our YouTube channel.

​Well, it’s finally here!  After many long weeks of evaluation, editing, finalizing and publishing, the long-awaited Fourth Edition of Latitudes, our online Literary Journal, is finally finished and available for viewing on our website. There’s a veritable goldmine of terrific  Fiction, Nonfiction, Poetry, and Drama available for your reading pleasure available here. And if you’re a bit gun-shy about clicking suspicious links, just scroll back up to the MORE menu at the top of this page. Look for Literary Review and click on “LITREVIEW FOURTH EDITION” near the bottom of the MORE menu and you're there. But give yourself plenty of time. There’s a helluva lot of great reading there. 
​
​
And speaking of Latitudes, the first three editions of the journal, are also available online for your reading pleasure. You can get to them by using the same "MORE" menu above and choosing the LITREVIEW FIRST EDITION or LITREVIEW SECOND EDITION or LITREVIEW THIRD EDITION choices at the bottom of the dropdown list.
