Added in 2009 this event, held during our annual conference (about 80 days from now), has become a staple and fun event made possible by donations from our members. Have you donated an item yet?

Time is rapidly spiraling down to the conference, and we need your donations now. Take the time to select or purchase an item to donate for this event, which will for the first time take place on Friday immediately after Open Microphone instead of on Sunday morning.

2012 Award Year has Closed 

Hi everyone,

This past month, it has amazed me to see the popularity of blogs and social media among our members. I would encourage those who are not involved with sites like Facebook to get an account. Some lively conversations, promotion information, and updates can be found there and on various authors' blogs through the MWSA website. I'd like to also welcome new members Christopher Kelly and Steve Maffeo to the group.
