Military Writers Society of America (MWSA) is perhaps the largest writers group focused on helping service members and their families tell their stories and the preservation of history. They have several venues from monthly writing contests to their quarterly magazine to their annual anthology. Several members also run military focused writing groups in their communities or have small press publishing houses with the same focus. www.MilitaryWriters.com
Thanks for the reminder! We'll look forward to including this in our next update to this page. In the meantime, Here's the quick link and language to the 2015 MWSA Anthology call for submissions:
http://www.mwsadispatches.com/node/1810
"Each year MWSA publishes a book of articles, short stories, essays, illustrations, and photographs to showcase the amazing members of the Military Writers Society of America. In addition to member entries, the book contains the MWSA review and jacket design of each book nominated for an award in the current award cycle.
Members in good standing are encouraged to send original work, not to exceed 1200 words, in a text document along with a high resolution jpeg head shot photograph and a biography of 250 words. The theme this year is “Hope and Courage,” and entries should reflect that theme.
