| Links to some of my essays, narrative nonfiction, reviews, and journalism are included in the lists below. My narrative nonfiction book about southern Mexico, No Word for Welcome,
is forthcoming from University of Nebraska Press in Spring 2011.
I was thrilled to be included in the anthology Writers and Their Notebooks (University of South Carolina Press, 2010), with essays by Dorianne Laux, Phillip Lopate, Kyoko Mori, Kim Stafford and others. You can order it here and read my essay here.

Phillip Lopate says of
Wendy's forthcoming book,
No Word for Welcome:
"Wendy Call has a big, pertinent story to tell – globalization – and she does a marvelous job of bringing it to life. On every level, the work succeeds. She has merged an enormous amount of journalistic investigation with a graceful belletristic tone. She ferrets out the contradictions and complexities in the struggle of the 'good guys' to fend off globalization, without demonizing the capitalists. It’s a beautiful job."
