 Associate Membership in the SLWG’s Apprentice Club

an initiative by St. Louis Writers Guild to encourage and showcase tomorrow’s Writers


The Apprentice Club is St. Louis Writers Guild’s young writer program!

SLWG has a long tradition of supporting tomorrow’s writers and we continue this with Associate Membership in the SLWG Apprentice Club, a way to showcase the wonderful young writers programming we provide.

The Apprentice Club is led by Sam, the quill-and-ink hedgehog, a new mascot inspired by SLWG’s first president Sam Hellman.
