Though our membership\u2014and leadership\u2014has shifted over the years, her goal of creating a safe and supportive place for writers to learn and grow together continues to lead us forward today. A list of current members and our publications can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/jlwriters.com\/index.php\/members\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Our first collaborative work, <em>From the Stories of Old: A Collection of Fairy Tale Retellings<\/em>, was released in 2016. Over the course of the next four years, we published nine other anthologies in various genres, completing the collaborative project with <em>Tales of Forgotten Creatures: A Supernatural Anthology<\/em> in October 2020. A full list of these works, some of which include beautiful illustrations, can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/jlwriters.com\/index.php\/jl-anthologies\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1867\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/jlwriters.com\/index.php\/2021\/01\/15\/dusting-off-a-reintroduction-of-the-just-us-league\/jlawebbanner-1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jlwriters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/JLAWebBanner-1.jpg?fit=1920%2C700\" data-orig-size=\"1920,700\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"JLAWebBanner (1)\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jlwriters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/JLAWebBanner-1.jpg?fit=300%2C109\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jlwriters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/JLAWebBanner-1.jpg?fit=1024%2C373\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1867\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jlwriters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/JLAWebBanner-1.jpg?resize=549%2C200\" alt=\"\" width=\"549\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jlwriters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/JLAWebBanner-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C373 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jlwriters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/JLAWebBanner-1.jpg?resize=300%2C109 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jlwriters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/JLAWebBanner-1.jpg?resize=768%2C280 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jlwriters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/JLAWebBanner-1.jpg?resize=1536%2C560 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jlwriters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/JLAWebBanner-1.jpg?resize=549%2C200 549w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jlwriters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/JLAWebBanner-1.jpg?w=1920 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 549px) 100vw, 549px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The joy that we find in writing and sharing our stories with the world is what keeps us going through all the speedbumps\u2014plot holes, rejections, corrupted files, formatting trials\u2014we encounter along the path to publication.
