“Washington Writers’ Publishing House involves some of the best writers in the area in its activities and has built an audience of national significance. It is among the most successful recent literary experiments in the country.”
—Henry Taylor, Pulitzer Prize Winner

Washington Writers’ Publishing House is a non-profit organization that has published over 50 volumes of poetry since 1975 and so far nearly a dozen volumes of fiction. The press sponsors two annual competitions for writers living in DC, Maryland and Virginia, and the winners of each category (one each in poetry and fiction) comprise our annual slate. In 2021, WWPH launched an online literary journal, WWPH WRITES to expand our mission to further the creative work of writers in our region.
