“You should join AWSA,” my friend and critiquing partner Yvonne Ortega told me sometime back.
“What’s that?” I asked.
I learned the acronym stood for Advanced Writers and Speakers Association. At first I wasn’t very interested, but I agreed to go over their requirements and mission. I discovered that AWSA is open to writers and speakers who have written at least two books and/or meet certain other criteria.
It is a group of very loving, encouraging writers and speakers. Along with other activities, they have a conference once a year which honors outstanding editors and publishers. Amazing speakers and workshops provide opportunities for members to grow in their craft and fellowship with each other.
Most of all AWSA supports writers and speakers in their efforts to grow in their Christian ministry. I’m glad to be part of such an organization.
