“An artist’s duty, as far as I’m concerned, is to reflect the times.” – Nina Simone

The Guild Literary Complex recognizes the power of words to bring people together and transform communities. We continue to champion storytelling as a force for change.

Help us raise $35,000 for 35 years of inclusive literary programming at a time when words matter most.
