GuyWriters is a community network for gay writers in the San Francisco Bay Area. Our purpose is to celebrate and support literary creativity in the gay male community.

GuyWriters provides opportunities for members to develop new writing, access publishing resources, and meet other people in the literary world. We accomplish this by:

*Presenting published writers who discuss their work and careers;
*Hosting social gatherings that build community among gay writers;
*Facilitating writing groups for gay poets, prose writers and playwrights;
*Moderating an online social network to link gay writers across the country;
*Publishing an online literary magazine to spotlight our members' work;
*Distributing a monthly email newsletter about the literary scene; and
*Maintaining this website as a resource for promoting gay writing.
