I suspect that many readers and visitors to this blog aren't award of MWSA or its great networking community!
MSWS is the
Military Writers Society of America. It is not just for those who write with a
military theme. It is also an organization the supports writers who are or have
been military or are related to military. Though it also accepts authors and writers who appreciate the possibilities it offers.
Membership is reasonably priced and it offers an excellent book award contest. A couple of my poetry chapbooks have won awards and definitely are not military oriented!
And now all members of MWSA are
encouraged to attend this year’s conference in September. They say, “In
addition to a general membership meeting that will enable you to learn more
about what’s going on in MWSA and provide you the opportunity to voice your
suggestions for the future of MWSA, the agenda includes seminars to improve
your skills as a writer and presentations that will entertain and educate you
on the military history of San Antonio.
“We have worked hard to keep the conference
costs down this year and are offering an early bird price at an amount below
prior conferences and way below other writers’ conferences held around the
country. The Menger Hotel is located right in the heart of San Antonio,
minutes away from many major attractions: the Alamo, River Walk, Old
Market Square, and more.
