Harlem Writers Guild Publishing Package (Back-in-Print)

We've teamed with the Harlem Writers Guild to create a publishing program available only to Guild members.

Please note that your Harlem Writers Guild membership must be verified prior to submission.

• Send iUniverse two copies of your book

Benefits:

• Your work published as a high-quality, trade paperback, print-on-demand book. Copies of your book will be printed as they are ordered.
