"mwe" is a small, "barely for profit" publisher which brings out quality literature bypassed by conglomerates more interested in market share. While small and idealistic, mwe is also pragmatic, and our books find their way into the likes of Barnes & Nobl
, Border, amazon.com, and independent booksellers everywhere. One of mwe’s projects for 1999 is to publish an anthology of xer poetry, a collection reflecting that generation’s views, issues, concerns, and angst, all in their own words. That is the work
ng title for the anthology - "In Our Own Words - Xer Poetry". Submissions are being sought for this book from all over the world, from all walks of life. Writing skill is of course a factor, but more important is how effectively the persona of the x-g
neration is expressed, its passions, joys and pains. Submissions can be made to mwe@interpath.com, or MW Enterprises, 3903 Capital Blvd., Suite 194, Raleigh, NC 27604, USA. Please include a full name, geographical location, and contact address with each
submission, as a release must be sent and returned for each poem chosen to appear in this anthology. Those wishing to gain a flavor for who I am, Marlow Peerse Weaver, owner of mwe, might want to read my novel, A Small Fire Burned on Windy Hill (ISBN 1-5
901-882-0, which is available through amazon.com and most booksellers, or the book Life Between Azalea Festivals by Amy Jo Wood, being released by mwe in September. There are no restrictions on the contents of submissions, as mwe wishes to publish an hon
st, open and uncensored reflection of a generation. While no payment is being offered, if the published anthology manages to not only cover publishing costs but achieve a profit, a significant portion of that profit will be distributed to the authors of
the poems published. Looking forward to receiving your submissions and those of other xer poets. regards, mpw
