Artwork for Southern Writers Guild

We 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.

Corn Is A Good Thang

I must admit right off, this wasn’t the South I was raised in. I mean it is. But I grew up on a golf course, not a farm. My idea of fresh vegetables was going to the Farmer’s Market on an occasional Saturday morning. So I owe my Sweetheart...

Healing through Opera Rose, Following the Strays, Running with the Bulls

Tonight, we sat down to talk about Opera Rose and Other Devotions and, as often happens on The Porch or around The Kitchen Table, the conversation wandered into storytelling, collaboration, the strange ways characters take on lives of their...

Dinner on the Grounds

The French Broad river is older than the mountains it moves through. Standing in the valley you could feel that the water was not fighting the ridges but predating them, indifferent to their height. The Cherokee called it Agiqua. Long Man....

Authors

The writers behind this newsletter.

  • MJ Polk

    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

  • primalbeet

    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.

  • Harriet Corvine

    "I always knew I could never change the world But was hoping that I could Detour yours for a little while To collide with mine" Harriet Corvine

  • Gray

    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.

  • Good Boy Records

    I write songs and about the life around making them. Good Boy Records is my song journal. Grooves & Gravy is the writing. I release music as Chip Martini. Please don’t ask why. It made sense at the time.
