Redwood Writers 2024 “Transitions” Anthology: All CWC Members Invited to Submit

Submission deadline is coming up on May 17
Life is all about perpetual transition.
Editor Jan Rowley invites your submissions!

The 2024 RWC Anthology, Transitions, will be a collection of stories that allow the reader to experience your character’s journey through a period of change. A character may be a human, an aspect of nature, or an alien of the author’s imagination.

All adult fiction genres are welcome.

Think literary fiction: character driven versus plot driven. It is the journey across that bridge of transition that the judges want to read and the editors will be ready to polish.

A personal note from Editor, Jan Rowley:Transitions: The theme for the 2024 Redwood Writers Anthology. Transitions happen. You will experience a transition while reading this message, at the end of which you will have changed. And if you accept the challenge and the opportunity to submit to the Redwood Writers 2024 anthology, you will experience yet another transition. Should your story be accepted for publication, you will experience an even greater transition.

Submissions are now being accepted! Don’t procrastinate . . .

Find details here>>>> redwoodwriters.org/2024-transitions-anthology.

A team of esteemed judges is waiting to read your work, and a qualified team of editors is excited to work one-on-one with you to make your story the best it can be.

Visit groups.io/g/rwgroup/topics for #Transitions to find weekly Tips from the editor.
