Southern Writers Guild
MJ Polk, primalbeet, Gray, Canary Vale, Good Boy RecordsWe are the Southern Writers’ Guild: a deliberate assembly of stubborn scribes—poets, novelists, essayists, playwrights, songwriters—who stake our claim on this tangled South, by blood or by choice or by some inexplicable pull that won’t let go.

Authors
The writers behind this newsletter.
Newspaper to Substack Editor & Consultant--offering clients Proofreading, Copy-editing, and Developmental-editing services. But I'm not your average copywriter. I have a passion for writing both Fiction and Creative Non-fiction. aka- Hank Cotton
Writer, musician, and feral philosopher. I craft poetry, short fiction, rogue songs, and offbeat truths from the crossroads of weird and wonder. Refined for public use, but still a little wild under the hood.
Gen X writer with a fake name—roamin’ the Dirty South with incense prayers & mixtape ghosts. Sometimes fiction, always true: stories stitched from kudzu, cigar boxes, found faith, & the ridiculocity of having raised ourselves.
Nothing here is meant to fix you. Only to see you. I hold up the mirror. You decide what’s beautiful about the damage. \ud83c\udfc6Featured by American Songwriter
Songwriter and music producer. Good Boy Records is my theatrically written song journal. Grooves & Gravy is for creative writing. I release music on all streaming platforms as Chip Martini. Please don’t ask why. It made absolute sense at the time.
