NOTE: How does one get to be included on this list? Published
Writers Group of the Triad writers with national magazine credits
or writers with stories published in anthologies are included. Being
a facilitator of one of our genres or a WGOT board member also gets
you in. As you can see, we have had difficulties with some of the
photos, and we appreciate your patience and understanding. We are
still trying to get this sort of thing worked out. If you are listed
here without a photo or wish to have a different photo used than
the one on the website, please email a digital copy (.jpg files
preferred) to Webmaster Karen McCullough at karen@kmccullough.com.
Please put "WGOT" in the subject line. If you are not
listed here but want to be, please forward a short bio (not to exceed
100 words) and photo to the same address.
