Look For Us at the ESWA Holiday Book Festival
by Barbara Westwood Diehl
A busy fall for us! We're reading submissions (5,700 received so far since August 1) and will soon be selecting work for our winter issue. The upcoming issue will include contest winners, too, so we'll have a group of finalists ready for the final judge, Mandy Moe Pwint Tu, within a couple weeks of the November 30 deadline.
We had a table at the Baltimore Writers' Conference at Towson University on November 15, and it was wonderful to chat with attendees and fellow publishers. Cheers to the conference organizers on another great event! I hope this long-running conference will continue for many years to come.
And a couple of us will be reading our own work and chatting with students at Notre Dame Preparatory School here in Baltimore in a couple of weeks. It's good to share our love of creative writing with young students when we have an opportunity.
Our next table: The Eastern Shore Writers Association Holiday Book Festival at Cult Classic Brewing on December 13. This one should be a blast. I'm planning on some fun table activities--along with having BR books for sale, of course. If you're in the Eastern Shore area, stop by and say hello.
