program.
Any local writing club, critique group, or gathering of five or
more people, including online groups, interested in the writing
craft can enroll as a Charter Club in the WWA. Charter Club Members
receive discounted membership dues and conference registration fees
in exchange for participating as a group. See theWWA Charter Club Partnership
Program page for complete details.
A Call for Submissions to WWA Press
Anthology
The Wisconsin Regional Writers’ Association Press has published
its first book: Robert Gard: The Windmill Man, compiled and
edited by LaMoine MacLaughlin. Buy the
book.
What’s next for the Press? One project, being assembled right
now, is an anthology. Others will be...?? The Anthology project’s
code name is Wisconsin’s Got Talent. That won’t be the final title,
but it indicates the project’s essence.
What genre are we looking for? Any and all. “Genre” is not an
operating term for this project. “Excellence,” however, is. Toss
aside your preconceptions. Tear free from the straightjacket of the
term “genre.” We’re looking for short to medium-length pieces that
you consider your most highly-polished, brilliantly-sparkling gems.
If the piece you submit is a past winner (or runner-up, or even
no-show) in a past WWA contest, please indicate so in your
submission. Download submission
guidelines.
Can my work be previously published? Yes, as long as you own the
publication rights. You'll be asked to sign a statement to that
effect.
Illustrators, we are also looking for you to add graphics to our
publications.
Currently, we are looking for future projects. Do you have a book
you want to print? We’d like to hear about it. Link to theHow to Submit to WWA Press
for criteria and submission requirements.

Robert E. Gard Book Available Online
The e-book, The Robert E. Gard Reader, just published,
features the writing and key ideas of Robert E. Gard, all told in a
very autobiographical and evocative way. It contains the story from
Grassroots Theater about how WWA began, even including the Creed of
WWA. There's also the text of a talk he gave, "Notes for Writers
Who Are Desperately Moved to Write," which may well have been given
at a WWA conference. WWA president, LaMoine MacLaughlin, wrote the
foreword to the e-book. Click on the following link to enjoy it. It
is free online.
