Wardrobe Best Dressed, March 2025, Selected by Guest Editor, john compton
As part of our ongoing commitment to women, nonbinary, and genderqueer authors, Sundress Publications is accepting submissions for The Wardrobe. Each week our editors will promote a single author, reprinting a selection of work from their published collection. Think of it as a kind of “Best Dressed” feature, without the tabloid snark.
2024-2025 Brown Handler Writer's Residency
This Residency, funded by Lisa Brown and Daniel Handler's generosity, is designed to nurture emerging and established San Francisco based writers by guaranteeing them access to free, adequate space and bringing them into direct collaboration with the Library for literary activities. This program honors the vital connection between the public Library and the literary world.
2023 Rash Award for Poetry
In 2010, the Broad River Review began two new contests, called the Rash Awards, named in honor of Ron Rash, a 1976 graduate of Gardner-Webb University. Rash’s first published work appeared in the pages of this literary review (a poem, “Last Night’s Ride” and a story, “Turtle Meat”). Rash grew up in Boiling Springs, North Carolina, home to Gardner-Webb University, and earned his undergraduate and graduate degrees from Gardner-Webb and Clemson universities, respectively.
