WILLA or Won’t Ya?

The following is a friendly message from Rumpus contributer Susan Steinberg (who is performing at the April Rumpus event in San Francisco) about WILLA, a new organization for and about women writers of literature:

“Please visit the new WILLA (Women in Letters and Literary Arts) website — willaweb.org — where you can become a member of WILLA, read great articles, learn about upcoming events, and cry over a list called THE COUNT where poet Amy King is documenting ‘the gender distribution of several major book awards and prominent ‘best of’ lists.’  Fascinating and alarming.”

[Full disclosure: Steinberg is a member of WILLA’s board of directors.]
