Tuscaloosa Writers and Illustrators Guild (TWIG) is an organization of approximately fifty prolific, involved, supportive authors and illustrators based in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, but membership extends to all of West Alabama and surrounding counties.
Meetings & More
Meetings are held via Zoom every other Saturday morning. Myriad genres and age groups are represented and members are both published and non-published.
The Purpose
The goals of the Guild are to support writing excellence and to provide networking as well as information related to book publication, marketing, and other literary endeavors.
The Guild also actively seeks to nurture reading among all age levels through involvement in various community projects.
Our members have won many prestigious awards and signed locally, nationally, and internationally.
Our History
TWIG has met continuously for more than half a century, beginning as The Guild of Professional Writers for Children. The Guild voted in recent years to rename as members were writing for all age groups.
