Writers Guild
The ACC Writers Guild is an officially recognized club whose goal is to create an environment in which young writers can share their work and receive constructive feedback from peers in a fun and communal atmosphere. Requirements for membership are a desire to write and ability to read (or at least listen). If you're a writer (or if you have two hours to kill) please join us in the downhill spiral of crippling doubt, depression, self desrtruction, and (hopefully) the occasional moments of clarity and insight that make up a writer's life. Still interested?

Our meetings in the past have been held twice a month at Austin Java, 1206 Parkway (just north of 12th and Lamar) at 7:00 pm. Currently we are discussing new possible meeting places and times. Meeting dates are subject to change, so please check with the faculty advisor or AWG president for the next available meeting.

Email AWG advisor, David Thornberry at dthornbe@austincc.edu for information. Members and visitors are encouraged to bring work and check us out!

If you aren't interested, just be upfront about it. We've been hurt before.

Rio Review
The Rio Review is Austin Community College's literary journal. You may now be saying to yourself, "We have a literary journal? What the heck is a literary journal anyway?" Don't worry, you aren't alone.

Published twice a year, Spring and Fall, the journal features poems, prose, screenplays and artwork by students at ACC. College wide in scope, submission is open to all students. Faculty and administrative staff are welcome to submit if they have taken art or creative writing classes at ACC.

To become an editor of The Rio Review, you may enroll in the Academic Coop (ENGL 2389). The Academic Coop is a capstone class for creative writing majors designed to teach students the fundementals of editing a literary publication.
