DOROTHY MASSEY'S BOOK-IN-HAND, OTHER HONORS
Dorothy Massey received NMBA's coveted Book-in-Hand Honor at our Gala Meeting on the very day her Collected Works Bookstore opened at its spacious new location at Galisteo St. and Water St. in Santa Fe! Dorothy and daughter Mary Wolf have served New Mexico readers and authors with dedication and professionalism since buying the store in 1996. Karen Villanueva received NMBA's Special Recognition for her diligent work as our publicist and FlashNews email coordinator.

SWW Presents:
The Write Answers: Solutions for Authors and Authoring with Ron Chapman
Saturday, November 1, 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
$20 for members, $30 for non members
Please note: All Workshops take place at
New Life Presbyterian Church
5540 Eubank NE
Albuquerque, New Mexico.

No registration. Pay at the door.
Call Southwest Writers for further information: (505) 265-9485 or visit: www.southwestwriters.org
In his June presentation to SWW, internationally accredited speaker and facilitator Ron Chapman (a former long-time Albuquerque resident and radio host at KUNM-FM), explored writer's inner obstructions to success. Now in "The Write Answers" he'll offer his unique expertise in a facilitated trouble shooting session that not only provides information on the challenges writers' face both in the writing process and in the publishing industry, but provides interactive opportunities for each participant to tackle their personal barriers to success.
Participants should bring several questions about what they perceive to be obstacles or their "stuckness," and explore what they perceive as a limitation or obstacle and Ron will help you see the opportunity within. From his own journey as a writer and author (and through the scores of interviews he conducted with New York Times best-selling and emerging local authors on KUNM-FM) and by working with small presses and trying to get name and book recognition, Ron knows where you've been and how to move beyond limited thinking.
