Member Opportunity - Author Showcase - April 1, 2023

In cooperation with The Last Word Bookstore in Savage Mill, MWA is offering 10 member authors an opportunity to promote, sell and sign their latest book. This special pilot program will be held April 1 from 1 to 4 p.m. at the bookstore. The program will give each author 8 minutes to discuss their book and offer a brief reading.
To be eligible, the author must be:
• an MWA member in good standing,
• have a book published after Jan. 1, 2021,
• promote the event on their mailing list and social media,
The first 10 eligible members to apply will be selected. Please send your application to [email protected].
Authors will have half a table to display their books and must bring their books for sale on consignment at the bookstore. Each author will also have an 8-minute slot on the program in which to discuss their book and to offer a brief reading. Authors will also be expected to arrive by 12:45 and stay until after 4 to be available to discuss and sign their books. They will take home any books that do not sell.
If the program is a success, MWA will consider developing a regular series of such events to provide this opportunity to more members.
