    About this ebook

    For more than a decade, The Scribe has been the mainstay for communicating with members of the St. Louis Writers Guild. It began as a way to showcase the organization and share insights into the publishing world. Back issues give a wonderful record of the Guild.

    The Scribe is now available to everyone, not just members. It features stories, poems, and essays from our members, as well as information about our events, most of which are open to the public.

    The May 2016 edition features a report by Lauren Miller on the Guild's May 7th workshop presented by David Lucas, and an original short story entitled "The Mentor" by T.W. Fendley.
