Connecting, developing and promoting Canadian writers and editors who are Christian
The Word Guild is a Canadian association of writers and editors who are Christian, and who are committed to encouraging one another and fostering standards of excellence in the art, craft, business and ministry of writing.
When Faith Today magazine founded the "God Uses Ink" conference 18 years ago, it was virtually the only point of connection and nurturing for Christian writers in Canada.
Today, much has changed. God Uses Ink is known as Write! Canada, and there are many more opportunities for Canadian writers who are Christian.
Now Canadians can be part of a group of people who share a spiritual worldview and offer each other help and support.
Our Vision
Our desire is to impact the Canadian identity through the words of Canadian writers and editors who communicate a Christian worldview.
"In the beginning was the Word." John 1:1
