Whatcom WRITES invites writers of all ages and experience levels to explore a theme inspired by the Whatcom READS book each year. Top entries are selected for publication in the Whatcom WRITES anthology and contributors are invited to read at a public presentation.
The theme for 2026 is Family: Formed, Found and Chosen, drawn from Solito: A Memoir by Javier Zamora.
