How to Join the Guild

Step 1. Use the PayPal form below to purchase or renew your guild membership. Alternatively you can pay offline by sending a check to PO Box 1154, Hemet, CA 92546 (make payable to Diamond Valley Writers' Guild) or when attending an in-person meeting.

​

Memberships are based on Calendar Year (January to December), NOT a yearly subscription!

Memberships purchased in November and December automatically go toward the next calendar year.

The following steps are optional unless you plan to make use of the full spectrum of your
membership benefits, which requires access to member only areas of this website.

​

Step 2. While a website account is not required to belong to the guild, if you wish to participate in our online community, you will need to create an account. This account will be your login to the member forums and allows you to create your profile page, which can link to your social media accounts or personal website. This can also be done by clicking the Log In link at the top of every page.

 

Step 3. Once payment has been confirmed, the treasurer will notify the webmaster and your account will be upgraded to Site Member status. You will be notified by email when your account has been upgraded.

​

All accounts created on the website are cross-referenced to the current active membership list. If you already have an active membership your account will be upgraded by the webmaster as soon as the account can be verified.
