Join Women Who Submit in celebrating the publication of our third anthology, TRANSFORMATION! Thanks to the work of Managing Editors, Ryane Granados and Noriko Nakada, Advising Editor, Tisha Marie Reichle-Aguilera, eight Genre Editors, Lorinda Toledo, Erin Anadkat, Flint, Laura Sturza, Luivette Resto, Hazel Kight Witham, Aruni Wijesinghe, Lucy Rodriguez-Hanley, and publisher Nikia Chaney and Jamii Publishing, our third anthology features poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, and drama from 42 women and nonbinary writers from around the world.
“Given these perilous times of great global and local humanitarian
failures, cruel objectives cemented by morally repugnant mindsets,
and given the history of violence which has proven all too
predictable, I know my words may appear hugely insufficient in
protecting the most vulnerable, may prove never to be enough to
diminish the sorrow and suffering of others, and yet as a writer,
I continue to write.”
Inspired by these words by Helena Maria Viramontes, shared at her AWP 2020 keynote address, Women Who Submit’s third anthology, TRANSFORMATION, centers work that speaks to the ways writers and other artists can promote change in the world.
To order a copy, visit our partner and bookseller, Libromobile.
