Welcome to the Rehoboth Beach Writers' Guild

The Rehoboth Beach Writers’ Guild is founded on the belief that as writers we can--and should--use our skills and talents to help give voice to the many people who have important and necessary stories to tell that, for whatever reason, are not being told. Through our Free Writes! Reading Series and Young Writers’ Program, we hope to educate, encourage and nurture writing of all kinds at all skill levels.
-- Maribeth Fischer, founder and guild president.

In memory of Sam and Zachary

The 2010 Writers at the Beach: Pure Sea Glass, after expenses, netted $15,000. All of this money has been donated to Nemours/A.I.duPont Hospital for Children in honor of my nephews, Sam and Zachary Juhlmann, both of whom died of mitochondrial disease, Sam at age 7, Zach at age 15. The funds we donated will be used specifically to help those families whose children are being treated for this disease.

We also donated ten boxes of books to the National Reach Out and Read program. These books will be given to children who visit Nemours hospitals and clinics. Thank you!

3rd Annual Lewes Creative Artists Conference, Saturday, August 21, Lewes Public Library

Offering Master’s Workshops in Fiction, Poetry, Scriptwriting.

From Maribeth: I am putting fiction workshop info below (I have it because I am doing it, but other info will be coming soon in regards to the other workshops).

Prospective participants are asked to mail a maximum 2,000 word story (complete or not), by August 2. Mail stories to Maribeth Fischer, P.O. Box 1326 Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971. No electronic submissions. We will primarily focus on the use of in-depth characterization with an emphasis on how such characterization not only affects, but determines, the shape of plot. We will also look at the use of setting in terms of developing the story’s subtext. Notification of acceptance into the workshop will arrive via email August 6. If accepted, participants are asked to email nine copies of their story to have it subjected to courteous and (hopefully) helpful comments. The Workshop is limited to eight participants
