DWA Press is the publishing imprint of the Dominican Writers Association. It was created to offer a literary home for Dominican voices whose stories are too often overlooked by traditional publishing. Our mission is to publish original, creative works that reflect the depth, diversity, and brilliance of Dominican identity on the island, in the diaspora, and in all the space in between. 

​

We publish poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, and short-form narratives—stories that reflect who we are, where we come from, and how we see the world. 

 

Our curated collections include:

• Colección Desde la Orilla – contemporary Dominican poetry that explores identity, migration, heritage and language.

• Colección Relatos Breves – powerful micro narratives, flash fiction, and essays that say a lot in few words.

 

We also proudly launched Cuenticos - a now retired, limited-edition anthology series that brought together dozens of Dominican writers around personal themes such as family, faith, silence, and migration. It remains a cornerstone in our publishing legacy.

 

DWA Press exists to create a space for Dominicans stories to thrive.

​

This is more than publishing. It’s a literary reclamation.
