New CWC Literary Review

For CWC members only!

California Writers Club Literary Review

Announcement and Invitation to Apply

Submission for first issue must be received by April 15, 2011

A New Publishing Opportunity Knocks

The California Writers Club will launch the publication of a literary review late this spring and thereafter three issues a year—spring, fall, and winter. Our magazine-style publication—think New Yorker but yet to be named—will host writing exclusively from members through a blind selection process, and include fiction, nonfiction and poetry. Unique graphics and photography may also sneak in on a limited basis. Your co-editors, Joyce Krieg of Central Coast Branch and former CWC Bulletin editor, and Dave LaRoche of South Bay Branch, solicit your work for inclusion—published or fresh from your vivid imaginations, and of course sent with this single-use rights.

The CWC Lit-Review (working title) will be mailed out to all members in hard copy and, in time, made available for non-member subscription. We intend a prestigious publication, both shining light on the included authors and bringing cachet to the club. You will want to be included.

Submission requirements and deadline dates will be repeated in each issue and apply to the next.  Click here for details to submit for the inaugural issue.
