Published or unpublished authors from the Shuswap or beyond
We have an opportunity for you to submit your stories, poems or essays to our new Magazine called Word From The Lake. It is a new and exciting project from the Shuswap Association of Writers to highlight and promote the art of the written word.
All entries are to be sent to wordfromthelake@gmail.com and are free with a $30 membership to SAW or $5 per entry if you are not a member.
Be mindful that all submissions will be looked at but not all can be accepted. If you choose to send funds electronically please send all payments to saweventsmagazinememberships@gmail.com
On that note, we are also looking for sponsors. There is an option within the magazine for you to be represented as making a donation to the magazine in the form of a business card size spot. It is $60 for placement in 4 issues. This donation automatically gives you a membership to SAW.
This donation helps with publishing costs and mail outs to certain areas of the province and across Canada, not to mention, of course, within the community itself.
The more donations and support we get, the farther we will be able to take this.
This is a project of passion and a Labour of love. As three, Shawn Bird, Michael Dean Jackson and Frances Simpson are working towards making this the best it can be.
We would love to hear from you through the magazine’s email address.
