Whatcom WRITES! 2013 Anthology: Loyalties Print Whatcom WRITES!
logo  Each year, Whatcom WRITES! holds a writing contest in
conjunction with Whatcom READS! and publishes an anthology of
the winning stories and poems. This year, the theme, based on
the 2013 selected title Snow Falling on Cedars, was
“Loyalties.”   LoyaltiesThe committee asked writers: “Has
someone been there for you when you most needed a loyal friend?
Has your loyalty ever been tested? How does it feel to stand up
for someone -- or something -- you believe in?”  Writers
answered by exploring loyalties within families and between
friends using poetry, fiction and essays limited to 800 words or
less. And the writing just keeps getting better! Loyalties is
now published and available for check out. Find it  at all the
public and academic libraries in Whatcom County, which is the
partnership that includes Village Books and brings you Whatcom
READS! and Whatcom WRITES! each year.
