New Women Writers' Magazine
Atlanta, GA - Oct. 13 - Attention women writers!!Do you have short stories or poetry looking for a place to be published? Doyou have something to say or to share in a personal essay but can't find aplace to share it?

April 2005 is the launch date for "Penwomanship," a magazine for the creativewoman writer.

"In searching for places to publish my own writing, I realized the selectionwas very limited," says Penny White, publisher of the new monthly periodical. "While there are many magazines which publish fiction and poetry, there arevery few which publish strictly women's writing. I decided it was time to dosomething about it.

"The magazine will contain 48 pages of women's writing and artwork. Although seeking original submissions for the magazine, White likes to thinkof it as a type of "Reader's Digest for women's writing." I hope women will be motivated and inspired to write about their personalexperiences," says White. "All submissions we receive will be considered forpublication.

"But what's with the name of the magazine?White smiles. "There is an interesting story behind that. And that story canbe found on the website."

The website, Penwomanship , currently contains some of White's ownwriting until she receives submissions from other women writers to put on thesite.

Submissions can be made via submissions@penwomanship.com in the body of the e-mail only. Attachments will be deleted unopened.

Submissions may also besnail-mailed to Penwomanship, P.O. Box 235, Pine Lake, GA 30072-0235.

For more details, please read the submissions guidelines on the website. Pay iscurrently five contributors' copies until the magazine is able to paycontributing writers.

White hopes to accomplish this within the next two years. Subscriptions are also available via the website at introductory rates. A printable subscription form is also available on the website.For more information contact Ms. White at penny@penwomanship.com.

Dian,
I wanted to thank you again. I just heard from the publisher and she has accepted one of my essays. It is going to appear at her website starting this weekend and then it will be printed in the first issue of her magazine. I'm so excited!

Robin,
I was right there in the car with you and had the nicest visual of your grannie's cross. This was a very moving (no pun intended) story and I felt your saddness as well. Isn't it funny how you were called back there mentally right after you kissied the cross? It is almost like your grannie was looking out for you...reminding you in the form of an analogy (jewels), to go back, take what you need, and leave the rest. Which is just what you did. I just loved the story. Thanks for sharing it. Well written!

JJ
