About

The Organization

Writers' Guild is a special interest organization under the Council of Student Organization at De La Salle University Manila. With the aim to  “redefine writing,” the organization strives to foster an inclusive community to hone the members’ skills and amplify their passion for writing.

Vision

Writers’ Guild aims to uphold passion for writing among its members. It seeks to provide not only venues for inspiration and discovery but also ways for its members to broaden their writing experience. It strives to enhance its recognition of the Lasallian community as it attempts to develop the perception of the Lasallians as to the value of writing through course-related and other literary works.

Mission

Writers’ Guild shall expose its members to different areas of learning and forms of writing as an expression by means of meaningful and worthwhile activities. Furthermore, it strives to enhance its recognition to other communities by participating in external activities, creating connections with other writing organizations, and being a responsible member of society through its socio-development programs, leading to the members’ growth.

The Publication Process

Submissions to the Writers' Guild publications are open during select periods within the academic year. When writers submit their works, they are allowing the editors to use them during editing workshops for the organization. In addition, if the works are accepted, they will undergo revisions with their designated editor for final printing of the publication.

​

Deadlines set by the EdBoard are final. Failure to meet them will forfeit their submission.

​

Please do note that the upcoming Scribbles publication Barely Love has its submissions extended until March 22, 2025!

Current Theme

The Editorial Board is thrilled to announce Scribbles AY 24-25 with the theme Barely Love. Through this theme, the writers can explore the thin veil that separates friendship from romance! In other words, the different types of relationships!
