OUR PANDEMIC
The Writer's Workout is proud to produce several publications each year. We welcome work from writers around the world.
The early 2020s were rough. We survived quarantines, mandates, and constantly changing data. We've been sick, struggled with long-term effects, watched friends and relatives suffer, and we made it through. This anthology is the story of our pandemic.
We created this anthology to help you share your pandemic experience in creative nonfiction. All proceeds from this anthology will be donated to Direct Relief, an organization providing medical supplies around the world. Please visit their website to learn more about the amazing work they do.
