Submission Guidelines
Not very complicated: please submit as a Word file, and try to keep your piece to about two pages. Send submissions to whywewrite@gmail.com. Understand that we may edit for length or content, but we haven’t had to do much of that so far and we swear a lot. Don’t write anything slanderous, or that you might regret later, because we take no responsibility for what happens after your words hit the blogosphere. Or before, for that matter. Try to be personal, interesting, and passionate. And put the dishes in the dishwasher before you leave the house.
Hi there,
Living in Spain, I wrote some novels in French and I’m looking for somebody, to translate and edit them in the States! The themes are about world war two, science, diving, new technology, action and very close tho reality, for screen adventures. Well I am already seventy five, so if somebody is interested, get hurry before my children have to publish them! Cheers to all the Writers, the make the World feel Better!
Jean van Steen.
PS, sorry my English grammatic, Cheers to all of You!!!

I write because i can. That piece of paper is the one place where my freedom can not be taken away.

I love that Why We Write accepts writers at all stations of their career and even those people who are claim not yo be writers–or at least those without credits–can be accpeted
I never missed a day of the strike and when I submitted my little modest essay entry to WWW, not only did Charlie give me the third degree, he also required (and questioned my professional standing) that I provide my credits and name.
I find it terribly ironic that someone without credits can be accepted on WWW, but there’s no litmus test for them.
