Today’s co-hosts are Murees Dupe, Alexia Chamberlynn, Chemist Ken, and Heather Gardner!
If you’re new to the group or site, here are some of the things we offer:
We are now on Twitter - catch us at @TheIWSG
We have a monthly newsletter that features articles, writing links, and the month’s featured IWSG member. You can sign up HERE and received a free gift.
One of those articles is by an IWSG member - this is where you get to contribute. Here are the details:
Topic Ideas: your number one writing, publishing or marketing tip; a motivational pep talk or inspirational story; a snippet about something you used to be insecure about but overcame or an aha moment you had about writing/publishing.
Length: 200 words or less
How to Submit: Send a DOC attachment to Chrys Fey at ChrysFey(at)yahoo(dot)com Put “Member Article” in the Subject Line.
We have a very supportive group on Facebook with 3200 members. We have special feature days M-W-F, and this month, we are introducing some fun new things on Wednesdays.
Also on Facebook is the IWSG Critique Group for those seeking critique partners.
We offer all writers a free ebook, The Insecure Writer’s Support Group’s Guide to Publishing and Beyond. It offers tips from our members on everything from writing to publishing to promoting.
We have an anthology contest each fall where members can submit stories for a royalty-paying anthology. Released last month, Parallels: Felix Was Here was the first one. Keep watching the site for details concerning this year’s contest and a chance to cast your vote for the genre.
Plus, we even have our own t-shirt.
If you’re a writer looking for resources and support, you’ve come to the right place.

A great place to be indeed!
Seeing it all listed, I'm stunned how much it's grown.
I am so happy to be part of this group. The camaraderie and support for each other are fantastic.
The IWSG is awesome. It has so much to offer writers.
Thank you, Chrys, for taking on the responsibility of creating our newsletter. You are doing an awesome job and it is very appreciated.
Just wore my Tee shirt yesterday. I might need to order another one. There sure is a lot going on and I happened to mention it in my post today too.
Hey Diane,
Ah yes, there are so many ways to get involved with "IWSG" aka "I Was Seeking Gary." I may of mentioned I'm delusional.
Of course, being such a good guy, I shall take the liberty of sharing this post.
All the best,
Gary
I always breath a sigh of relief when the first Wed comes around. I get to share Insecurity and lighten the load!
Definitely a fantastic group! :)
Wonderful community. Amazing group of people. I love IWSG.
