From August 1, 2007 to October 1, 2007, Words of Choice ran an open submissions period for new works.
We received over 150 highly accomplished submissions from all across the country, including from
Massachusetts, Washington State, California, Texas, Kentucky, New Mexico, Oregon, New York, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania,
North Carolina, Illinois, Minnesota, as well as Canada, Russia, and elsewhere.
We selected a small number for An Evening of New Works on October 28, 2007, and an Experimental Evening
on October 27.
(Please note: At this time, we are now longer accepting further submissions.)
This is how the submission info read:
