 The NMBA display table at the New Mexico Writers Dinner. NMBA showcased 45 of our members’ books at the New Mexico Writers Dinner at La Fonda in Santa Fe, April 24, 2024. Thanks to James McGrath Morris, Executive Director of New Mexico Writers, for helping to make this happen, and thanks to the committee (Shirley Melis, Anna Sochocky, Jordan Jones, and Paula Lozar) who collected the books and assembled the supporting materials. This was not a sales event, but we handed out flyers with the QR code and web address of our online catalog for anyone interested in purchasing a book. We also distributed brochures for the Southwest Book Design and Production Awards. The display made a second appearance on May 18 at the opening breakfast reception for the Santa Fe International Literary Festival in the Santa Fe Convention Center, and remained on display in the “Bibliotheque Lounge” in the Coronado Room throughout the Festival. An unexpected breakfast treat at the Convention Center was the appearance of David Grann, author of Killers of the Flower Moon and The Wager (his latest book), minutes before he appeared on the Big Stage in conversation with author Hampton Sides. After the event, New Mexico Writers donated the books to local libraries. Thanks to everyone who participated!
