BAWL & Friends Newsletter

August 2025 Edition

Hello, Writers,

The deadline to submit your works for the anthology has been extended to September 15, 2025. Submit your work to BAWLanthology@gmail.com. Please send ASAP, since it takes time to edit and return those edited beauties back to you. Remember, the theme is flight, flying, or fly, or any iteration or meaning.

The feature for this month is on writing, submitted by Becky Ellisor. Thank you, Becky. As a writing community, we rely on you to provide our monthly Feature. 

If you are interested in submitting a motivational photo (to be used below) or a written feature for the September newsletter, please send the final draft to editorbawl@gmail.com by August 7th, 2025.

Something different for the in-person meeting this month. There will be a reading. Details will be put into the Events Section on the website and on Facebook as soon as they are decided. 

The image this month was provided by J.A. Guynn. Thank you!

Happy Writing!

- Kelley
