WE ARE NOT ACCEPTING - FanFic, Erotica, Violence, or Previously Published Work. The goal of The Writers Group is to publish great writing and poetry the world has never seen from both established and up-and-coming writers and poets. We also consider work previously published if it has appeared in a high-school or college anthology, or in the published results of a writing contest. We consider works that can be easily found through an internet search to be previously published, including stories and novels published to your own blog. Work must not be something that is being considered by another publisher. By submitting your work, you warrant that you have retained a copy. TWG will not be responsible for keeping any copies of the work submitted.

6. Author must sign a release form that acknowledges: By submitting an entry, you represent and warrant that your entry: (a) is your original creation; (b) has not been copied in whole or in part from any other work; (c) has not previously been published; (d) does not violate or infringe any copyright, trademark, privacy or publicity right, or other proprietary or intellectual property right of any person or entity; (e) is not defamatory, libelous, obscene, or otherwise illegal; and, (f) is your sole and exclusive property. You further represent and warrant that you have complete, worldwide distribution rights. Author understands that he/she retains the rights to his/her work, but any royalties and/or profits from the sale of the anthology go to The Writers Group for future events.
