American Writers Review | 2026 Submissions and Contest Now Open

Last year, Elwood Writers was honoured to judge the American Writers Review (San Fedele Press) literary contest. The contest is open again and, continuing our intercontinental connection, Margaret McCaffrey and Barry Lee Thompson have joined the journal’s team, providing editorial support and assistance for this year’s issue of the publication.

The theme: The Truth Will Set You Free. Contest entries may be submitted until 1 July, and the window for general submissions closes a month later, on 1 August. Details may be found on the AWR submissions page — just click here.

2026 is off to a flying start! Margaret and Barry are once again excited to be on the AWR team, and really looking forward to reading the work submitted.

Happy writing, and best of luck!
