Amp Up for the Southern New Mexico Book Festival with the Las Cruces Bulletin!
Check out new articles in the Las Cruces Bulletin that cover our two rock-star writers and event organizers, Eva Nevarez-St. John and Charmayne Samuelson. First the two discuss the event, its origins and even a little about literacy in the 21st century. The second article covers Charmayne’s amazing run of awards and success with her Mata Ortiz pottery collaborations and, drum roll please… five new awards from the New Mexico Book Awards, announced Oct. 1st.
For more information on the book festival, check out our events page.

Bob Worthington’s Newest at the Military Writers Society of America (MWSA)
Check out Bob’s newest book, Fighting Vietcong in the Rung Sat, at the Military Writers Society of America (MWSA). Bob has submitted it for review and a possible award. There are many societies, contests, and awards available for new authors, short stories, fiction and non-fiction alike. We will collect our own accolades here and add to our resources.
Nonfiction Authors Association
Our own award-winning author, Bob Worthington, highly recommends the Nonfiction Authors Association for aspiring and published authors who want to learn more, network, and polish their craft. The association offers podcasts, interviews with thought leaders, email newsletters, conferences (during the best of times), and much more. BASIC membership is even free!
