Writers Place Yearbook 2026

Call for Submissions

Submissions are open for the next edition of the Writers Place Yearbook, and it won’t be complete without a submission from you.

Send one poem, one short story, one excerpt from a longer work of fiction or play, or one piece of creative nonfiction.

Prose pieces should be no longer than 1,500 words, and poetry should not exceed two pages. Any submissions that fail to meet the guidelines will not be included. When you submit your work, include a 50–100-word bio.

To submit, your membership in the Writers Place must be current. If you have let your membership lapse, then you can renew it online at writersplace.org or by mailing a check to:

Writers Place

Submissions may be previously published provided you have the rights returned to you.

All submissions are due by December 31, 2026.

Please send your writing as a Word document in an email attachment to bgulley@jccc.edu.

This collection will be published on the Writers Place website and publicized through our email and social media network. A print version will be available for purchase from Amazon.

We look forward to highlighting your words.
