February 2020 Blast

The holidays are over and most of us have already given up on our resolution to lose weight. However, MWSA is in full swing now and we want everyone to be up to date on a couple of significant happenings this year.

Reviews & Awards

First, the book review cycle is ongoing. Our website provides thorough instructions on how to submit your book, and so far, this year’s program is running on all cylinders. Don’t wait until the last minute to submit your book. If we get overloaded, we may have to shut down the program early. Again, check our website for details.

Elections 2020

Second, this is an election year. If you would like to help out by becoming a Board member or an officer, please do so. You can contact Joe Epley directly at joe@epleywrites.com and let him know you are interested. We need some volunteers, so please consider running for office.

2020 Conference

Third, our general membership conference this year is going to be great. New London, CT, is next to a submarine base and the Coast Guard Academy. The area is also rich with Revolutionary War history. We have kept costs down and the weather in September should be great there! Please plan on coming and don’t forget to take advantage of our early bird rates. If there is a topic you are interested in having discussed at the conference, let us know.

If you would like to make a presentation or be on a panel at the conference or at the separate writing class held on Thursday before the conference starts, let us know. More information on both events can be found on our website.

Website

Finally, we are always trying to improve our website. If you haven’t looked lately, take a few minutes to check it out, especially the Resource page While you’re at it, check out and like us on our two Facebook pages. Links to both can be found at the bottom of each website page.
