Rhode Island Veterans Anthology

  What is it? This is an opportunity for fiction writers and/or poets that includes 14 weeks of intensive writing modules and workshops taught by the editor of the WWPL Press. We will show you step by step how to write, edit, and polish your piece to professional standards and pursue the publication process. This program will conclude in the publication of an anthology of the participant's work and book launch celebration.

We will be meeting virtually once a week for 14 weeks, and additional writing and editorial work will need to be done between meetings. After the workshop period's conclusion, participants will work individually with their editorial team to complete their edits and ready their piece for publication.​

​

How Do I Apply? Due to limited space in the program, we ask that all interested RI Veterans fill out an application. We are looking for people who are passionate about creative writing in all fiction and poetry genres and are interested in learning how to pursue professional publication.

The workshop is a commitment of 14 weeks once a week for 1.5 hours with four sessions in November and December that are 2 hours for peer workshopping. There is additional self-paced writing, reading, and editorial work between meetings. After the workshops the writers will work individually with their editorial team. If you are not able to meet these and commitments you will not be eligible to participate. To apply, click the link above!

​

What Do I Get? The writing modules and workshops are designed to build foundational skills for new and early career writers of genre fiction or poetry while facilitating a supportive network of peers who can continue to support each other after the project. Participants will develop the skills and knowledge to continue to pursue professional publication beyond the scope of the project.
