The Military Writers Society of America is proud to announce that Rosalie Spielman has been selected as our 2026 Mike Mullins Memorial Writer of the Year — the highest honor our organization bestows.
Rosalie has been a standout presence in the MWSA community for years. Her series of cozy murder mysteries has earned multiple MWSA awards, and her consistent excellence, warmth, and dedication to the craft are an inspiration to all of us. It is truly fitting that we recognize her body of work with this distinction.
The award will be formally presented during MWSA's Annual Membership Conference and Awards Banquet, October 22–24, 2026, in Orlando, Florida. We hope you will join us in celebrating Rosalie's achievement in person!
