We are now accepting applications for apprentices and mentors for the 2025 Mentorship Program. This program allows developing writers (apprentices) to work in a supportive environment under the guidance of professional writers (mentors).

The program is open to writers in all genres and will be tailored to the apprentice's individual needs.

Deadline to apply as apprentice OR mentor: October 2 (by 11:59 pm).

New resource alert! At the Saskatchewan Writers’ Guild, we want to make sure our word choices are as uplifting and inclusive as possible because words are powerful. We have compiled an Inclusive Language Resource to help educate and assist writers and editors in being aware of words, phrases, descriptions, etc. that could be harmful to readers and to assist in suggesting alternatives to writers so that the writing is not harmful. Please note that we do not have any partnerships with the organizations or people whose guides and information we link to in this resource, nor is this document an exhaustive list. There is always more learning we can all do and continue to do; therefore, this guide will be a living document.

Find the document here: https://skwriter.com/resources/resources-for-inclusive-language
