W&M Writers of Washington
William & Mary is proud of its many alumni authors. With such a vast array of books and other publications, it is impossible to recognize all of them. Our partners at W&M Libraries regularly feature alumni authors in their ongoing event series, and the W&M Alumni Magazine regularly spotlights recent works by W&M community members in its quarterly Roundup. Now the Washington Center is pleased to announce our complimentary program: W&M Writers of Washington!
Please note: W&M Writers of Washington is separate from the W&M Alumni Magazine. If you are interested in having your published work listed in the Class Notes section or the online magazine, please contact alumni.magazine@wm.edu.
