WWA Press
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.
What’s next for the Press? One project, being assembled right
now, is an anthology. Others will be...?? Read on!
The Anthology
This project’s code name is Wisconsin’s Got Talent. That won’t be
the final title (I despise cheap imitation), 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 straight-jacket 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.
“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.
Other projects
Do you have a book project? We’d like to hear about it.
Illustrators! We want you!
No, we’re not forgetting what the 2nd “W” of WWA stands for. And
the word “illustrator” is not... quite... exactly what we need.
Many future projects will need professional-level graphics to
match the professional-level writing. We’re looking, not so much for
“illustrators,” as we are searching for “graphic collaborators.”
When the written work needs accompanying visuals, we believe that
the author and artist need to work collaboratively, so that words
and pictures complement each other.
(Publication of comics, or "graphic narratives," or whatever
high-falutin’ term you prefer, is a distinct possibility on the
horizon.)
Send us samples of your art (copies only, please; do not send
originals!).
Readers -- we need readers!
Because we’re anticipating a flood of high-quality submissions,
we need a crew of readers to help identify the very best candidate
pieces for the WWA Press. Can you help? Please contact us.
How to submit
For the anthology: Short to medium-length pieces may be submitted
for immediate consideration.
What’s the deadline?” If you are reading this, we have not yet
reached that deadline. Submit your work when it’s been polished to
submittable perfection. Worst case scenario: It will be considered
for “Anthology II — the Sequel.”
