MYSTERY WRITERS OF AMERICA

Gwen Hunter is a member of several professional writers organizations, to which she volunteers her time and experience. This year, Gwen was elected to president of the southeast region of Mystery Writers of America, (mysterywriters.org for more information about the national organization) and she takes office on February 1, 2002. The southeast region is composed of seven states: Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. The mission statement voted on and approved by SEMWA members is – The purpose of the Southeast Chapter of MWA is to further the writing, publishing, and marketing, goals of our chapter’s members by organizing, sponsoring, and promoting activities to that end.

Toward that end, Gwen will travel to New York City on the weekend of February 1, for the orientation of the national board members. She says, "There are so many opportunities for new writers become better writers, experienced writers to become published, and published writers to market their work. It is the goal of my two year administration to help mystery writers in all of these endeavors. I want to see seminars in every state, a new SEMWA website (now online at www.semwa.com) geared to Southern mystery writers, online chats, and a growth of our numbers. I want to see SEMWA meeting the needs of mystery writers!"
