Well Versed 2014 Submissions Open

Submissions are now open for Well Versed 2014. The guidelines will soon be posted soon at www.ccmwg.org. Please read the guidelines carefully. One change is the number of pieces you can submit. You may submit three prose pieces and five poems.

We have also added a section on formatting your manuscript to help with the editing process. Also, one of the judges mentioned that most of the prose manuscripts submitted were not formatted correctly. Please read through the formatting section. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact me at wellversed2014@gmail.com.

The deadline is October 31, 2013. Please mark that day on your calendar because we do not anticipate extending the deadline this year.

As always, CCMWG members pay no entry fee. Nonmembers pay a small fee, or can join CCMWG for $15 and pay no fee. Each edition of award-winning Well Versed is filled with outstanding prose and poetry, and we look forward to having your pieces considered for the 2014 edition.
