Skyline 2021 Valerie B Williams

The Skyline anthologies, now in their eighth year, are dedicated to showcasing Central Virginia writers, both in fiction and nonfiction prose and in poetry. These anthologies, like the four biennial Blue Ridge Anthology collections that preceded the Skyline anthologies, have at their base the placing works in the annual juried writing contest of the Blue Ridge Writers chapter of the Virginia Writers Club. To celebrate the placing authors in the BRW writing contest over the last fifteen years, the length of time for which records are available, and to mark the thirtieth anniversary of the Central Virginia club, the 2020 and 2021 editions of Skyline have been dedicated to republishing placing works in the contest during that period. Skyline 2020 included works by multiple winners in the last fifteen years at the first- and second-place levels. This edition, Skyline 2021, includes single placings at the first and second spots and all available third-place works. Skyline 2021 includes thirty-eight works by twenty-four authors.
