following information as a guideline for choosing an author to write about in
upcoming editions of the magazine. Pictures very welcome.
WWA Members to Write
about Wisconsin writers
During his presentation at WRWA’s 2008 Spring Conference in
La Crosse, Jerry Apps suggested that each WWA magazine should include something
about the Association’s history and something about Wisconsin’s rich legacy of
writers. I’d like to do that. But I need your help to do so—your help (that
means all of you WWA members out there). Send me a message at cwmed[at]wiwrite.org
if you would like to prepare an article on a Wisconsin writer or some aspect of
WWA’s history.
Wisconsin authors
are considered to be those who were born, raised, or lived a significant
portion of their lives in Wisconsin.
NOTE: Because we
all have different perspectives on the authors, I do not mind duplicate
reports. Please always query the editor first. More than one biography can be submitted for publication, as each author will have a different experience and there is always more than one side to any story.
