THEME: FLYING

DEADLINE: August 15, 2025

If you have ever wanted to see your writing published with your name on it - now is your opportunity.  As a service to members and the Houston area community, BAWL will publish an anthology of short stories, essays, flash fiction and poetry in December 2025.  You do not need to be a member of the Bay Area Writers League to submit for publication.

Prior anthologies are available in print as well as on Kindle. Buy a copy to see the quality and type of writings we accept. Available from Amazon. You can also visit our Past Anthologies page right here on the BAWL website. 

As a submitter, you will not only see your name as the author; but will also receive valuable editing suggestions from our editorial board, so your work will be the best it can be.

For all the details on how to submit your pieces, see the 2025 Anthology Rules page.
