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. More ...


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. http://site.ebrary.com/lib/clevelandstatedr/docDetail.action?docID=10416299
