Benefits of Volunteering with The Word Guild


The Word Guild is an association of Canadian writers and editors who are Christian, and who are committed to encouraging one another and fostering standards of excellence in the art, craft, practice, and ministry of writing.

Volunteers formed the foundation of The Word Guild, and they remain a fundamental part of our structure today. Our desire is to impact the Canadian culture through the words of Canadian writers and editors with a Christian worldview. By volunteering, you become an active part of a supportive community of committed people who are working together as a team to connect, promote, and develop Canadian writers and editors who are Christian.
