March 21, 2026 Whether it’s a fantasy realm, an alien world, an unknown past, an apocalyptic future, or our very own planet Earth, the ‘world’ of any story should be real, interesting, unique, and useful. Building these worlds, including variations of our own can enrich any story and even serve as a kind of character. NYT bestseller Jonathan Maberry will take you through fun and surprisingly easy steps to show how to build the perfect world that will bring your story to life.

April 18, 2026 The DVWG tradition of celebrating beautiful words and phrases continues with our annual poetry event. Guild members will have an opportunity to read up to two poems and share why their selections are meaningful to them. Pieces can be original or the work of a favorite poet. Join in the readings and discussion or just sit back and enjoy the experience.

The video for the February meeting has been uploaded to the YouTube channel.

Meeting called to order by President Michelle Bassett at 6:37 pm Pacific
