The Wordsmiths: Volume One is a collection of creative works by members of the Smithy Center for the Arts' Writers' Circle. This is a passionate group of local writers which became determined to develop a publication each writer could be proud to share with their friends, family, and communities. Wordsmith Publishing was developed to design and develop such a project, and more like it in the future. This anthology expresses just a piece of the boundless creativity growing in the Cooperstown, New York region.
