In Development
Our 2017 anthology is now in development. It’s our fourth print publication and will showcase members’ writing as well the winners of our annual EMCS student writing contest. Watch for the book launch and reading events in the spring as well as other events throughout the year.

Last year we began our Patron program offering advertising space in our print anthology and on our website. It continues this year with a huge thanks to past patrons and a call for renewal and new patrons.
