IWA Purpose

Purposes of the IWA include promotion of literacy world-wide, education, and promotion and support of its members.

IWA Publications


The IWA is proud to have published three anthologies, all containing exclusively contributions showcasing the talent of its members. The first anthology, Many Voices, One Faith, is sadly no longer in print. The other two anthologies, however, printed and published in 2009, are both still in print and available for sales. Many Poetic Voices, One Faith, and Many Voices, One Faith II-Islamic Fiction Stories are both wonderful testimonies to the talents within this organization, and a bargain for such a wonderful collection of varied styles of writing that can be found no where else. Simply click on either of the titles mentioned above for more information on both of these one-of-a-kind collections. 

Help the IWA Promote Literature
 

Awareness is knowledge, and knowledge is power, and the only way to attain that is through education, which is the opposite of illiteracy. This is the main goal of the IWA, to help empower people worldwide to attain knowledge and power through the easily attainable goal of literacy.
