Introducing: WayWords
The Writer's Workout is proud to introduce our quarterly literary journal, WayWords.
Each issue features two separate sections: a central theme and a tribute space. For the theme, we'll provide some suggestions to help inspire your piece(s) but you're welcome to take the theme any direction you like. We even welcome stories you've submitted unsuccessfully elsewhere!
The tribute section encourages voices with direct, first-hand experience in that area to discuss challenges and successes they've seen.
Each issue will accept short story and poetry submissions for ten weeks. Visit our WayWords page for full details and annual schedule.
Check out our full line of WayWords merchandise on TeeSpring!
