CAW's Annual Anthology, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘳𝘰𝘸 𝘚𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘬𝘴

Have you ever dreamed of seeing your work in print? Of holding a real book in your hands and pointing to your story, your poem, your words, saying, “I wrote this”? Here's your chance. Whether you’re new to writing or have been crafting stories for years, this is your invitation to be part of something meaningful. This is a perk of paid CAW membership!

Why should you submit?

• It’s a great publishing credit, especially if you haven’t been published before.
• It’s a fantastic way to learn the submission process, a skill every writer needs.
• It’s your chance to flex your creativity, to tell a story or share a truth.
• It directly supports CAW and the creative community we’re all building together.
• If you are a published writer with a following, your readers can help grow and encourage the careers of newly published writers.
• It shows the world just how talented the writers in our region truly are.
• It might just inspire someone else to start writing, too.
• It gives our community something to brag about, and rightfully so.
• And most of all, it means you’ll have a real book to hold that includes your words.

Don’t let fear stop you. Don’t wait for the perfect draft or the perfect moment. Take the leap. Share your voice. You have something worth saying. Let’s fill our anthologies with bold, beautiful, brave voices, like yours.

Keep writing. Keep dreaming. And take that chance!
