Military Writers Society of America member reviewers independently nominate books for awards using a scoring system each year—a very good reason for writers to join the group besides the access to a review! That's especially valuable for first-time authors. And they welcome writers of every ilk (military or non military), so why not? You should see how they publicize both winners and nominees!
Two of my books were nominated, my chapbook of poetry She Wore Emerald Then with Magdalena ball, and A Retailer’s Guide to Frugal In-Store Promotions. Winners will be announced on Veterans Radio Network (www.veteransradio.net) on July 31 at 9am Eastern time.
