The award honors a community member who has contributed outstanding service in support of local and regional writers.  Amy, a presenter at many NCWN events, was acknowledged for being an award-winning writer, editor and independent press publisher. As a founder of the groundbreaking Novello Festival Press, she put more than 300 writers into print, many for the first time, through works of literary fiction, nonfiction and poetry.

Hat's Off!

 

Hats Off! to Ruth Moose, whose FIRST novel Doing it at the Dixie Dew will be published in 2014 by St. Martin's Press. Dixie Dew won the $10,000 Malice Domestic prize.
