Washington Writers' Publishing House

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Washington Writers' Publishing House is a cooperative, non-profit small press publishing poetry, fiction (novels and short story collections), and creative nonfiction (memoirs, essay collections). The press was founded by four poets, including Grace Cavalieri, in 1975. The Washington Writers' Publishing House is dedicated to publishing writers who live in Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia and has an annual contest for manuscripts. The press publishes a bi-weekly literary journal of the work of writers from the Washington metropolitan area, WWPH Writes.

The press has received financial support through grants from the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities, the Lannan Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, The Nation magazine, and the Poetry Society of America.
