If you have ever wanted to see your writing published with your name on it - now is your opportunity.

You need to be a member of the Bay Area Writers League to submit for publication. The final deadline is August 15 2023 at midnight.
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.
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.
Each submitter will receive editing advice and one print copy of the Anthology.
There is a lot of work to do before publication. Members can get involved by working on the editorial and publishing committee and by submitting their work to be included.
