Phoenix Conference September 25 - 28, 2014

Dear MWSA members,

[Do not reply to this email, as it will go to an unattended mailbox. Please use the emails listed in the text below.]

We are hoping to see all of you at our annual MWSA conference this year in Phoenix, Arizona. The conference is a wonderful time to learn more about the craft of writing, meet likeminded authors, develop relationships, and discover the ins and outs of publishing and marketing. If you think you may be attending, please note the deadlines below.

August 29, 2014: Deadline for notifying Jim Greenwald if you are donating books to the Phoenix VA. Contact LeansToFar@aol.com let him know what and how many of your books you will be mailing to the hotel

September 1-10, 2014: Dates for mailing donated books to the hotel.

September 4, 2014: Deadline for reserving a room at the Holiday Inn & Suites Phoenix Airport North, 1515 North 44th Street, Phoenix, AZ 85008 [Free Hotel shuttle from Sky Harbor Airport]. After September 4, the hotel is not obligated to offer the rooms at the special conference rate of $107.60 per night, which includes taxes and hot breakfast each morning. If you think you may be attending, make your reservations now!

Conference registration: You will need to register for the conference itself by emailing Jim Greenwald at leanstofar@aol.com. He will send you the appropriate paperwork. Once you fill it out and return it to him, he will send you a PayPal invoice or you can mail your check to our PO box.

Medal winners: Nominated finalists who are selected to be medalists will receive an email once the judging is completed, which we hope will be by September 1. Finalists will be notified that they have won a medal, but not informed as to which one (gold, silver, bronze).

Volunteers needed: Folks are needed to work the registration desk Friday and Saturday, either from 10-12 or 12-2pm.
