Adriana Elizabeth Herrera Bowen loves horses more than people and lives for junior rodeo competitions. For the first time, the all-around cowgirl saddle is within her reach. Except her old gray mare, Pearl, isn’t as fast as she used to be, and another competitor has her eye on the same prize. So Adriana needs a faster horse. Is she willing to jeopardize her friendships and vet school dreams to win? Not if her parents have anything to say about it.

GATHERING is a collection of poems, essays, stories, and plays by Women Who Submit (WWS) members from New York, New Jersey, Chicago, San Antonio, Bay Area, Long Beach, Westside, and Los Angeles chapters. It is a way for members in our literary community to acknowledge the traumas of the past year and offer hope in the face of unprecedented challenges. In spite of all that has plagued the world in 2020-2021, WWS members continued to gather across the country, share resources, encourage literary submissions, and support each other with claps and cheers. This is how WWS celebrates 10 years of empowering women and nonbinary writers in physical and virtual spaces.

Inside you will find the Foreword I wrote as the Managing Editor and an excerpt from my play Women of Dogwood. Order your copy through Libromobile Bookshop.

ACCOLADES is a celebration of submissions, acceptances, and publications by the members of the literary organization, Women Who Submit. It features fiction, creative nonfiction, and poetry from 40 Women Who Submit members and a Foreword from the co-founders.

This is Women Who Submit’s first anthology where I was co-managing editor with Rachael Warecki who designed both beautiful covers. Also available through Libromobile Bookshop.
