The Creative Guidance Anthology
Once a year, the Creative Guidance Writers Group will produce an anthology of our best work. The first anthology will be released next year, in November 2017 — just in time for holiday gift-giving!- The book's cover and interior pages will be professionally designed, printed, and promoted on Amazon.com.
- As a contributor, you'll receive one copy of the anthology. You'll be able to purchase additional copies for 50% of the cover price.
- Best of all, as a contributor, you'll be able to create your own Amazon author page.
- You'll retain the copyright to your own work, as well as future publishing rights.
- Submissions should be previously unpublished.
