The Washington Poets Association Newsletter
Beginning Fall of 2010 the Washington Poets Association will now publish an e-newsletter. The newsletter will be available to for all membership and friends of the WPA who request it direct to their email inbox. To begin it will be published quarterly, but if there is significant interest, submissions and support it will be published more often. The e-newsletter will feature writing prompts, articles from the membership about poetry and poetry related subject matter, announcements, upcoming events, writing group classifieds, and most importantly the membership's poetry. How to Submit an Article

In the body of the email, please include the following: your name as you want it to appear in the byline, as well as a sentence or two about who you are. Attach your submission as a Word document.

Letters to the editor
Notice of events
General InformationPriority will be given to time-sensitive material, to submissions from the membership (especially those persons designated for their area's news), and to articles solicited expressly by the editor for a particular issue. At least two poems but no more than four will be published per quarter. Only WPA member poetry will be published. An individual's poetry will only be published once every four issues. If you are published, please do not submit poetry again until three more issues are published. Thank you for understanding and allowing for the opportunity of your fellow members to have their poetry featured in our newsletter. Meeting the submission deadline may not assure publication in the forthcoming issue. If a forthcoming issue does not have room for a submission, the editor will hold it over for the next issue as a priority item unless the author forbids that at the time of submission or unless it contains dated material. The editor will work with the author if she/he chooses to reduce the size of the article to fit the forthcoming issue. The editor reserves the right to edit all submitted material.
