The AWA Substack is open to a limited number of submissions in two streams:
-
The first is Substack Articles, which are essay or blog-style articles. Examples include: * AWA workshop facilitation and training *AWA affinity groups *Impacts or outcomes stemming from AWA writing workshops or other AWA projects/offerings *Writing craft *Revising and editing, including AWA’s manuscript review process and Blue Pencil Sessions *Publishing.
-
The second is Literary Writing, which includes original poetry, short fiction, and short creative non-fiction from AWA affiliates, writer members, and AWA writing workshop participants. The work must have been started in an AWA workshop. Collaboration between the writer and the workshop facilitator is strongly encouraged. Typically, the facilitator would write an introduction to the piece, usually describing the workshop and the prompt that inspired the writer’s piece. The writer provides a finished, polished version of the piece they started in response to the prompt. The two parts should be combined into one document. Writers submitting without involvement from an AWA facilitator must include a narrative or reflective introduction about the AWA workshop or prompt that sparked its creation.
