Shout Outs

What is a Shout Out?

A shout out is a public announcement of some accomplishment in your writing journey, whether you're a beginning writer or an accomplished author. Your membership to the Diamond Valley Writers' Guild leverages the strength of our mailing list to recognize our members and share your success.

When is the Shout Out sent?

There is no set schedule, but the shout out is sent around the end of the month. The deadline for the next shout out is announced at the monthly meeting!

Did you publish a book?

There is a menu option under the Member Books page to Add Member Book. Simply log in and fill out the form. It's super easy, all you need to do is cut & paste a link to the Amazon, Books2Read or any URL that has your book available for purchase or pre-order. Only recently published books or those available for pre-order will make it into the Shout Outs.

Can I "shout out" other writing-related news?

Sure, we always like to share our member successes. We just require a link to include so people can visit the blog, site or announcement. Some examples that we allow are...

• You've been short-listed for, or won an award for something you wrote.

• You wrote an educational writing-related blog post.

• You have a scheduled book launch event happening at a location.

• You will be presenting at an event or attending a writing event. By all means tell others of the event as they may be interested.

Who can send Shout Outs?

All active members are welcome to submit Shout Outs.

How can I submit a Shout Out?
