A WWPH WRITES special issue...
|
Next week, March 5-7, your WWPH will be at one of the largest gatherings of writers, literary organizations, literary presses, and university writing programs in the country...AWP in Baltimore, and we would love to meet up with you! Here is where to find us...
|
- at Booth 545. Plus, we're participating in a SCAVENGER HUNT. Get your postcard at our booth, visit 5 other DMV-area presses, collect each of our cool stickers, and earn a 20% discount on any sale at any of the participating presses.
- at Pickles Pub on Thursday, March 5th at 5 pm for A KIND OF BIG DILL reading/party. We're teaming up with 5 DMV area presses for readings (and free Baltimore treats!). From your WWPH -- Caroline Bock, Bernardine 'Dine' Watson, and Kim Roberts will be reading! Plus, there will be an OPEN MIC (limited spots - sign up at Pickles that night). The iconic Pickles Pub is located right across from the Convention Center at 520 Washington Blvd, Baltimore, MD 21230. Please let us know you're coming—we need to know how many pickles to order (yes, there will be pickles). RSVP here.
- with Author Signings at our booth on Friday, March 6th: Chanlee Luu at 11:30 am; Holly Karapetkova at 12:30 pm; Megan Doney at 1:30 pm, and Jona Colson at 2:30 pm.
- And if you haven't been to AWP, here is a Survival Guide featuring literary pros from the DMV offering advice, recently published in the Washington Independent Review of Books.
PLUS, we have news on our 2026 WWPH Fellows; these are paid, largely virtual 12-week internships. See below for our class of 2026! We are excited for these talented young writers to work with us. And a big thank you to Dr. Jean Feldman for her support of this invaluable program.
|
Stop by our booth at AWP (#545) and ask us about applying to be a WWPH Fellow. Ask us about our 2026 manuscript submissions. Buy an award-winning book or two (or more!)!

Read on! See you in Baltimore!

If you are an educator, stop by our Booth (545) and ask about bringing America's Future --and our writers -- into your classroom.
We believe AMERICA'S FUTURE has a place in your classroom. With 179 works of poetry, fiction, essays, and visual language spanning 526 pages, it offers a rich mosaic of writers looking at what's next for our nation through a literary lens. We have developed sample lesson plans suitable for AP-level high school classes and college-level work.

The countdown begins...our new award-winning books will be published in January of 2027!

If you are interested in submitting your manuscript-length work to us for our next front list (publication in 2028), we open submissions on April 1st. Stop by our booth (#545) at AWP and talk with us about being published with the Washington Writers' Publishing House.
