Mandate
The Saskatchewan Writers’ Guild is a not-for-profit membership
driven organization that strives to sustain and enhance an
environment in Saskatchewan where writers and all forms of writing
flourish; to promote the well-being of all writers; and to advocate on
their behalf.
President’s Report
It has been a pleasure to represent the SWG at several
functions and ceremonies: at the Aboriginal Editors
Circle in June, 2014 I noted that we are forging a new
future for us all; I brought greetings from the SWG to
the luncheon we sponsored at the Saskatchewan Festival
of Words; what fun it was to participate in Words in the
Park; volunteering at Fan Expo was entertaining and
we recruited many new members; attendance at the
Saskatchewan Book Awards serves to remind us of how
proud we should be of Saskatchewan writers.

One of the ongoing projects was the Ad Hoc Committee’s
research into the future of Grain Magazine. I joined
the committee as chair for the last three months and
I am pleased the committee has made a report of their
findings for the SWG Board. The passion and interest
of the committee members is indicative of the SWG’s
value. Grain is a prestigious literary magazine and the
challenge is to keep it viable and relevant. I am pleased
that many sources were consulted in the process.

the value of the work we do. Besides being an excellent
opportunity for bonding and understanding more fully
each staff person’s role, the insights, especially for new
staff, were immeasurable. Working together as a team

has already helped to guide us to more efficient
operations and programming initiatives.

New membership and renewals are on the rise. We
welcome everyone and appreciate ideas for what we
might offer to assist writers in their development.
We’re particularly pleased that our outreach with live
streaming is proving to be a great vehicle for connecting
with members outside of our two major cities and
we continue to develop this method of professional
development.
We thank all of the staff who have moved on to other
fields this year and wish everyone great success on
their career journeys. I am personally grateful for the
keen team of staff members at the Guild offices, who
work hard to ensure the mandate and vision of the
Guild is fulfilled. Their creation and implementation
of programs and services continues to show their
dedication to benefit writers and the future of the Guild.
Kudos and thanks to them all.

Council for the Arts for their continued support of
our many programs that bring in writers from farther
afield, and provide our local residents with a myriad
of choices to help them develop as writers or enjoy the
fruits of the written word. We appreciate other funding

Saskatoon Community Foundation, Access Copyright

We are equally grateful to our partners in programming

Regina Program Reports
Community Programs
Talking Fresh 12 was held on March 7-8 in partnership
with the University of Regina and tackled the concept
of “exile.” This year writers and artists explored writing
about various aspects of exile, such as writing while
exiled, writing about characters that are displaced,
exploring novels and screenplays that have been
banished and subsequent reactions from the reader/
audience/critics. Talking Fresh began on Friday, March
7 with a panel discussion involving Colleen Murphy,
Armand Ruffo, Lillian Allen, and University of Regina
Press Director Bruce Walsh, and focused on the theme
“Exile: Writing Beyond the Borders.” The evening

Rural Workshops
This fiscal year, the timing and structure of the readings/
workshops remained flexible for hosts and authors as
the community and author often provided both the
workshop and reading in one day. Once again, winter
was hard on the rural tours and cancellations occurred,
but overall, many of the communities persevered.
This year’s workshops were:
Assiniboia—Rebecca Grambo
Bruno—Brenda Baker
Fort Qu’Appelle—Anne McDonald
Dianne Warren recieved the Cheryl and Henry
Kloppenburg Award for Literary Excellence in September.
North Battleford—Barbara Klar
The Cheryl and Henry Kloppenburg Award for
Literary Excellence

and Henry Kloppenburg Award for Literary Excellence.
The announcement was held September 11 at the
Saskatoon Club in Saskatoon. About 75 people were on
hand to listen as Warren accepted the award and read
from her work.
Author Readings Program
The Author Readings Program is a well-established SWG
program where authors are provided funding by the
SWG for delivering readings within schools, libraries,
and community facilities. The host pays a subsidized fee
to the SWG for the author to do their reading. This is
an active SWG program that enables authors to be paid
for their services throughout Saskatchewan. Funding
for this program is provided by the Sask. Lotteries
Fund. For this fiscal year there have been a total of 157
readings with 8000 attendees.
Bookworm’s Corner
Filming for another episode of Bookworm’s Corner took
place in Estevan at the end of May. This long-running
SWG TV series, filmed by Access Communications,
has helped entertain and educate children about
Saskatchewan’s many great children’s books.

Spalding—Lynda Monahan
Fall Conference
The SWG is home to hundreds of different writing
voices, and this year’s conference theme “Rethink,
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: Writing and the Environment”
explored the concept of voice with sessions that provided
a variety of choices in genre, in experience, and in
style. This year we again partnered with the Ânskohk
Aboriginal Writers Festival.
We were extremely excited to have Tim Wynne-Jones
as our guest lecturer for the Caroline Heath Lecture,
Richard Van Camp for the Ânskohk Festival, and
Gregory Scofield as the Ânskohk Luncheon lecturer.
These three brought an infectious energy to the entire
conference. The Writers’ Union of Canada representative
hosted the pre-Hicks Cocktail Reception. To round
out the weekend, we had the ever engaging and hugely
popular Open Mic with the host extraordinaire Gerald
Hill and lastly Sunday morning came and went with our

The last phase of the Direct Mail Campaign was completed
this year. Thanks to the Creative Industries Transition
Fund administered by the Saskatchewan Arts Board for
the opportunity to design and implement a massive mailout of over 1575 letters to former subscribers and new
potentials to reinvigorate subscriptions.
There were a number of staff member changes in Grain
program operations in the latter part of the fiscal year. We
said farewell to Sarah Taggart and Rilla Friesen, wishing
them well in their new endeavours. We are grateful to some
first-rate Guest Editors who helped Grain by finishing
the last of the contracted editor’s three-year term. The
inevitable changes were due to the process and waiting for
the finalization of the Ad hoc Committee report. Kudos
to Kim Aubrey (Spring), and Edward Willet (Summer) for
the issues that showed their astute managing editorship,
and also to Kathleen Wall (Fall) for expertly seeing us into
the new fiscal year.

proportionally across the country, 19% of which were
Saskatchewan subscribers, plus 7% International
subscriptions. The Direct Mail Campaign garnered 22
new subscriptions from across the country. Other sales
and distributions of just over 200 attribute to the total
920 circulated for each issue besides those that the SWG
disperses through the course of its operations for a total
print run of 1,000 each issue this past year. Single issue
sales increased by 16% and two year subscriptions for
individuals and institutions were up slightly, while one
year subscriptions for individuals and institutions were
down. Some issues sold out, which was fabulous!
Grain, the SWG’s quarterly literary magazine, publishes
engaging, diverse, and challenging writing and art by some
of the best Saskatchewan, Canadian, and international
writers and artists. Every issue features superb new writing
from both developing and established writers. Each issue

Due to numerous requests from students and teachers,
and the testimonials of the value of this magazine in print
form, the Guild managed to publish a print issue again in
2011. The return to print created a buzz of excitement in
high schools throughout Saskatchewan. This year, thanks
to the generous sponsorship of PrintWest in Regina,
we were able to offer a full-colour issue. Over 800 high
schools and libraries in the province received free copies
of Windscript and it is also available online.
eBRIEFS
Ebriefs is the Guild’s weekly e-mail bulletin available to
any member who has e-mail access. In addition to being
a useful information resource about events and markets,
Ebriefs helps to build a sense of community by including
announcements, calls of interest, and member news and
readings. Archived issues of Ebriefs are available to SWG
members in the Member Area of our website.
The SWG hopes to continue to publish Windscript in
both print and online form if funding can be found to
sustain this valuable resource and outlet for high school
students. We are actively searching for sponsors. The
SWG believes that the physical copy of Windscript is
important to the future and present development of our
high school writers.
The Saskatchewan Writers’ Guild is proud to support
the fresh, original work of student writers. We thank the
teachers and librarians who encourage their students to
submit their creations.

The Jerrett Enns Awards are two awards of excellence for
high school student writing in poetry and prose named

to the increase in expenditures in the Administration

A new membership database system was installed and
enhanced member website capabilities introduced
to assist members, such as automatic member login,
adding and updating members information, advertising
members’ new books and launches on the Guild home
page, improving membership package materials and
membership forms.
The surplus acquired this year and in subsequent
ones, will be tucked away as a reserve for necessary
emergencies, if they should arise. The Guild will need
to accumulate approximately an additional $220,000
in the General Fund Net Assets to reach the goal
recommended for six months operating reserves, which
will take a number of years of prudency to accomplish.
All in all the SWG is in a good financial situation and we
anticipate many good years to come.
