HWA members may place a notice about their publication in sections of the HWA newsletter free of charge. Authors may send free copies of their work to HWA members. People can purchase a HWA mailing list (labels only) to send copies of original work by regular mail. Members can utilize the HWA directory to create an ‘opt-in’ e-mail list for promotional purposes. Members can use the HWA message board to post announcements. Process HWA members recommend works for consideration. Ballots are compiled based on recommendations. Two rounds of voting are done by active members to determine finalists and then the winners. Awards are presented at the annual HWA conference in June.
- Process Books must be received by the deadline to be qualified for the contest. (One month after the application is due – early December) A complete lists of finalists will be announced in late March.
