Today Kathy Cannon Wiechman's 9/11 poetry and Kim Van Sickler's ice fishing short story "Adift" are being published in Anything Prose…and Poetry, Too! – a one of a kind collection of works written by 32 talented authors. This project was inspired by a small community of writers and is filled with writings of all genres and styles, giving the overall book a very unique feel.

Introducing Anassa Publications, LLC

by Melissa Kline

I have been a busy little writer and have now added publisher to my growing list of titles. I am the proud co-founder of Anassa Publications, LLC!

It all started with a desire to give the Rocky Mountain Women Writers the opportunity to become published in a compilation. I wanted to give back to the hard-working, dedicated writers who make an effort to help our fellow members and writing community. The idea to put together a collection for the RMWW had been brewing for years, I just wasn’t sure exactly how to piece it all together.

After self-publishing a book for my son, I was inspired to go ahead and begin with the process of creating an anthology that would showcase the works of the Rocky Mountain Women Writers. I teamed up with my good friend, fellow author and RMWW member, Diana Dolan, and together we made it happen!

Diana and I had a vision for a company that would help communities thrive and give writers an authentic publication experience  - thus, Anassa Publications, LLC was born!

We are currently accepting submissions for our first project titled,  Anything Prose…and Poetry, too!, an anthology that will give special recognition to the Rocky Mountain Women Writers. If you are interested in contributing a story, (or two!), please check out our SUBMISSION GUIDELINES.

The submission deadline for the Anything Prose  anthology is September 30th. I hope that you’ll consider sharing your stories with us!

Be sure to check out our website www.AnassaPublications.com, as we will be announcing exciting news and projects in the coming months.

Happy Writing!
