SUMMARY:Spotlight on PA: 1st in series highlighting chapter regions
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Nov. 11 for the first in a series of Zoom chapter meetings that shine a spotlight on members that\, because of geographic location\, find it difficult to attend meetings in New York. The November meeting features three notable authors from the states of Pennsylvania. And\, we do mean states. John Vercher won accolades for his first novel set in Pittsburgh. USA Today and Wall Street Journal best-selling author Lisa Regan writes a series set in the center of the state. Multiple award-winning author Merry Jones lives in Philadelphia and has written over twenty books: thrillers\, non-fiction and humor. The panel members who write about Pennsylvania and in Pennsylvania will discuss the challenges shared by authors writing about less-familiar locales as they relate to all aspects of their writing. The conversation will also address building writing communities outside of publishing centers like New York. \nThe event will be streaming live on our Facebook page. \nPlease click here to let us know if you’ll be coming. \nMerry Jones \nMerry Jones is the multiple award-winning author of over twenty books—thrillers\, non-fiction and humor.

SUMMARY:October virtual panel: Growing Up Mysterious: Juvenile and Young Adult Crime Fiction
DESCRIPTION:Growing up is a mystery. So perhaps it’s not surprising that people have been reading and enjoying juvenile and young adult mysteries for more than a century. Our panelists all write\, or write about\, girl sleuths\, in stories that span a hundred years of American history. While these young women solve crimes in their community\, the authors tackle important social/political issues that characterize daily life in those communities. Join Melanie Rehak\, Victoria Bond\, T.R. Simon and Richie Narvaez for a discussion of the craft and the business of writing juvenile and young adult crime fiction. Moderated by Jeff Markowitz. \n\n\n\nThe panel will stream live on the MWA-NY Facebook page.
