2019 Anthology

The Chattanooga Writers’ Guild has striven to fulfill its pledge to “promote, encourage, and support the craft of quality writing and to create a supportive environment for writers in the greater Chattanooga Community.” This anthology perfectly illustrates this pledge, as the talent of the many writers represented inside will amply demonstrate. Even more, the guild has developed a network of writers from far beyond the city’s borders creating a collection that not only reflects the unique character of our Southern writers, but also gives voice to those from further afield.Regardless of their origins, these writers have all found a home in the Chattanooga Writers’ Guild Anthology, and we are proud to publish them.

2017 Anthology

The Chattanooga Writers’ Guild is delighted to give voice to the many talented writers reflected in these pages who were the winners, honorable mentions, and short-listed finalists in the 2017 Spring Writing Contest. Like the sound of many waters, where there is a soothing that comes from the music of an individual stream or from the chorus originating from the confluence of many streams, these literary works form a complex texture of the music of words. May their symphony delight your heart. Contributors: Calvin Beam, Finn Bille, Joan Gelfand, Susan Grant, Trevor Harper, C. Ann Kodra, Kate Landers, John C. Mannone, Aubrey Tucker Pennington, Jr., Linda L. Peters, Sherry Poff, Gerhard Schneibel, Claire Scott, Wesley Sims, Greg Starnes, Tom Tague, Ann Thornfield-Long, Marla Thurman, Greg Wilkey, Ray Zimmerman.

2016 Anthology

The Chattanooga Writers’ Guild is not one voice, but a chorus. Our relationships with each other, our neighbors, the city of Chattanooga, and the region all interact to influence us as we tune our writing voices. And while we may write poetry, essays, genre or literary fiction, the impact of those interactions shines through in a bright harmony. The result is this collection of works from our 2016 Spring Writing Contest. Inside you will find a broad range of styles and subjects, but always with a consistent undertone that comes from our community of writers. We are proud of our works and hope they bring you much joy as well. Contributors: KB Ballentine, Christine Connley, Nan Harbin, Bruce Gaughran, Frederick Marsh, John C. Mannone, Robert Moulthrop, Stephen R. Pell, Joseph Petree, Sherry Poff, Claire Scott, Greg Starnes, Michelle Young, Ray Zimmerman.
