Washington Writers' Publishing House is a cooperative, member-run, non-profit small press publishing poetry and fiction. The press was founded by Grace Cavalieri and in 1973 to publish authors who live in the Washington-Baltimore region.[1] According to their guidelines, they publish only manuscripts submitted to their contests for which a significant fee is charged.
In addition, the press has released two anthologies, The Poet Upstairs, edited by Octave Stevenson (1979), and Hungry As We Are, edited by Ann Darr (1995).[1]
The press has received financial support through grants from the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities, the Lannan Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, The Nation magazine, and the Poetry Society of America.
