We are excited to have restarted our monthly meetings, even while we are unable to join together in our usual location. Our meetings since April have been conducted using Zoom, an online meeting platform that allows us to come together in spite of remaining apart, and have been successful. To view recordings of the past Zoom meetings, check out the Guild’s Facebook page here.
The invitations with the Zoom address will be sent to all members. Guests who wish to attend should send a message to webmaster@sdwritersguild.org by the Friday before the meeting to request an invitation.
There will be a Marketing Support Group meeting at 5:30 p.m except in December.
Registration begins at 6:30 p.m. for signing in and informal networking. A short business meeting will begin at 6:45 p.m., and the program follows at 7 p.m.
The regular meeting will be live-streamed to Facebook for another viewing option. The sessions will be available to view later on Facebook.
Visit this page in the future to see what’s planned for 2021. If you have suggestions for topics or presenters you would like to see at one of our meetings, contact any of the members of the Board of Directors to let them know.

I was introduced to Atlas Shrugged in 1973 by my best friend’s dad. I did not know what Libertarianism even was but liked the strong silent type of character Ayn wrote about. I am now 68 and find I reject all “isms”. I find them cult-like. Especially Libertarians – they pick and choose what aspects they like (what financially benefits them!).
Good interview! I’m going to read it again. I think that in this era Rand is misunderstood. People think she’s an apologist for crony capitalism—which couldn’t be further from what she showed in her work. I don’t agree with her on everything, but she has important points that we could all consider if we are truly interested in what, practically, works in a society. I do wonder what she’d make of global climate change. Sometimes it takes all of us working together whether we like it or not. And sometimes government has to be the organizing entity to accomplish those tasks.
