Trusted Friends and Formal Affiliates of the Guild

Mythic Scribes

Mythic Scribes is an all-in-one fantasy writers community and forum. The Guild of Fantasy Writers regularly uses Mythic Scribes as its go-to forum. Veteran and novice writers learn from each other, critique each others' scripts, and refer one another to editors, illustrators, agents, and other professionals as needed. The forum also has some fun places for enjoyable improv writing and worldbuilding exercises. Check them out!
It's a very friendly and welcoming community owned and operated by a solopreneur who is genuinely passionate about fantasy writing.

Gutenberg Author Services

Gutenberg Author Services is owned and operated by co-founders of the Guild of Fantasy Writers. This is the company they use to accept editing work, and they are always looking for more books to edit. They are not a full-service publisher, they are only an editing agency with a niche specialization in fantasy. They will, however, offer to "publish" your book by selling you a Gutenberg-imprint ISBN, provided that your final manuscript meets their requirements. They also give free editing quotes, even if you don't intend to hire their editors, which is helpful.
