Key West Writers Guild Announces Kick-off Events to Celebrate New Anthology of Key West Stories

Local authors inspired to create imaginative short stories and poems

KEY WEST — The Key West Writers Guild (KWWG) announces two events to launch its most recent anthology: MORE WORDS FROM THE END OF THE ROAD: AN ANTHOLOGY OF SHORT STORIES AND POEMS. Forty-four literary gems from twenty-four storytellers and poets, presenting their skillfully woven impressions of the islands they love. 

The diversity of talent and telling reflect the individuality, beauty, passion and mystique of The Keys–iguanas, mistaken identity at the bar, poetry of the sea, journeys to Key West, Fantasy Fest, and more. There’s something for everyone: memoir, poetry, essay and flash fiction. 

There are two opportunities to meet the writers, hear them read excerpts of their work, and have your book signed.

BOOK LAUNCH & SIGNING: Friday, February 17, 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Key West Island Books, 513 Fleming St.

CAFE CON LIBROS at the KEY WEST LIBRARY: March 21, 2023 at 10 a.m. in the Palm Garden, 700 Fleming St.

 Books will be available for purchase. There will be refreshments and door prizes. 

Can’t make it? Copies are available locally at the Artisan Market (KWWG booth on the 2nd and 4th Sundays), Books & Books, Key West Island Books, and Last Chance Gifts at Key West International Airport. 

The Key West Writers Guild serves to educate, promote and encourage literary excellence and provide an opportunity to receive critiques, gain information about finding an agent, publishing and marketing. The Guild meets the 2nd and 4th Saturday of every month from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Contact Guild President Rusty Hodgdon to attend: [email protected].
