About the Space Coast Writers Guild

Based on Florida’s iconic Space Coast, the Space Coast Writers Guild is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit literary organization dedicated to empowering writers at every stage of their journey. Through community, education, and opportunity, we help writers elevate their craft, expand their reach, and grow their creative confidence.

Since 1982, our mission has been to uplift, educate, and inspire writers across genres and experience levels. What began as a grassroots collective has grown into one of the region’s most respected literary nonprofits. As a true guild, we believe in the power of connection—creating spaces where writers can share ideas, refine their skills, and learn the ins and outs of the ever-changing publishing world.

Whether you’re writing your first short story or launching your tenth novel, we’re here to help you rise.

What keeps us thriving? Our ability to adapt. Through the rise of indie publishing, the digital revolution, and evolving reader trends, we’ve continued to support our members with timely programs, dynamic speakers, critique groups, contests, and publishing opportunities.

Our identity is built on the creativity of our community. In 2023, member Cynthia M. Hall’s winning entry in our tagline contest gave us “Launching Writers to New Heights”—a phrase that honors our Space Coast roots while reflecting our unwavering commitment to help writers grow, connect, and succeed. In 2025, Colleen Clement’s winning logo design gave us a bold new look that visually captures that same mission of elevation and exploration. Together, they embody who we are: a community dedicated to helping writers soar.
