Council for Wisconsin Writers

If you live in Wisconsin and are a writer, consider joining the Council for Wisconsin Writers. Since 1964, this nonprofit organization has been promoting awareness of Wisconsin’s literary roots, which encouraging new writers. I first joined in 1990, and served for several years on the Board and as Publicity Chair in the early 1990s. The Council sponsors a variety of annual contests for published writers. This year, the contest will open on November 1, 2007 and close on January 31, 2008. The contests are for work published during the calendar year. Once the contests officially open, I’ll post them in The Money Corner. In the meantime, if you’d like to learn more about the Council, visit the web site at http://www.wisconsinwriters.org/
