	"Our president emeritus, Molly Grover Shallow, has stepped down in order to pursue completion of a novel in progress. Molly has been with the Guild since the very beginning, working at various responsibilities. A professional photographer originally from New York City, Molly spent many years living and working abroad, and has been living in Key West since 1992."
The Key West Writers Guild provides a friendly forum for authors to share their writings and receive encouraging and helpful feedback. The Guild obtains information about finding agents, the current publishing industry and markets for writing. Our many activities include: • An annual party. • Our second anthology, Voices from Key West, was just published and is available through members and at many locations throughout Key West. (The first, Key West and Beyond, was published in 2003.) • In collaboration with the Florida Keys Council on the Arts, the Guild presents an annual award to a writer with a book in progress. The Key West Writers Guild meets on the second and fourth Saturday of every month in the conference room at the Key West Public Library, 700 Fleming St., Key West, Florida from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm. Writers of essays, poetry, fiction, and nonfiction, published and unpublished, are welcome.  Bringing several copies of your planned reading would be helpful so that members may follow along on paper. Formed on September 5, 1995, the Guild is proud of having supported Key West writers over the years. Dues are $15.00 due on Jan. 1 of each year. The Key West Writers Guild is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization. All donations are tax-deductible.
We were all glad to see the first copies of Voices From Key West, the new Key West Writers Guild anthology that was just published. It includes stories by winners of the guild's short story contest.
