This fantastic cover photo was submitted by Marquette area photographer Elizabeth J. Bates, capturing the colors of fall, the fantastic reflection of the day and is just bursting with stunning natural beauty.

We are mulling through late summer, autumn’s stunning colors leaving us breathless and serene. Walloon Writers Review staff have been out and about checking in with booksellers and those who help others find out about this exciting collection of original creative writing, nature photography, poetry, musings and a few memories.

While you might often visit our page just about now to get the scoop on submissions, our “axis” tilted with all the usual craziness of this year and we are shifting our schedule to accommodate. Be sure to check back very soon for Call For Submissions very soon! Now is a great time to pick up a copy to get to know the types of outstanding materials we share.

Fall is a favorite time of year – hmmm… did I say that about Winter, Spring and Summer, too? Okay busted! The leaves falling … riding on a sudden breeze…smacking the side of your head while you read on the lounge chair – absentmindedly swatting them off, the incredible vistas of red, oranges, yellows and brown against sunshine, blue skies and the ever-present evergreens that send their rich fragrance into the air.

It’s a great time to be a reader and a writer. So excited to share on our Facebook page as many of the author and writers events, in person and via Zoom! We were present at Harbor Springs Festival of the Book with such exciting presentations by an exciting authors; National Writers Series – Pam Houston (had to do online), stopped in Bay Books this week to catch up and talk Leelanau County writers, including Kathleen Stocking, Pierce Stocking’s daughter – if you haven’t been to Sleeping Bear Dunes – don’t miss that!
