FWA Collection #4 - My Wheels
My Wheels is the title and theme for the 2012 FWA Collection #4. It's sixty short pieces, written by FWA members, submitted electronically, published by FWA, and marketed across the nation through national booksellers as well as on our own website. The Collection is published annually; each year presents a new theme and Person of Renown. This year’s Person of Renown is Julie Compton.
My Wheels is a story about solid objects or concepts. Every submission must be connected in some way with wheels. Any kind of wheels–think about it–Ferris wheels, wheels on vehicles, airplanes, grocery carts, skates, home decorations, landscaping. Or it can be connected with concepts. Was there a time when you felt like a “fifth-wheel”?
