The latest edition of American Writers Review (San Fedele Press) has dropped! Copies arrived a few days ago for Margaret and Barry, who respectively judged this year’s AWR Literary Contest and helped read and assess journal submissions on behalf of Elwood Writers. It’s been a pleasure to continue the collaboration from one side of the world to the other.

The cover art is, as we’ve come to expect, captivating – Holly Tappen’s ‘The Leap’ (front) and Meg Saluga’s ‘Anchor in an Ocean of Sky’ (back) create a harmonious palette suggesting, perhaps, a bridge between late summer and autumn/fall.

Congratulations to all the contributors. We can’t wait to dive in! We’ll let you know what we find between those covers.
