The summer writing conference continues to be a top conference due the accessibility to agents and editors, writing advancement workshops, industry education and best practices for business and marketing. We continue to rely on 150 volunteers to ensure our events success. We have continued to see an increase in both book contracts as well as agent representation for those who attended our conference. During the year we offer a series of writing workshops at our Writers Cottage in Issaquah, Washington. 52324 4080 Other miscellaneous services and programs to promote amateur writers: We assist authors by providing education and tools for the industry primarily through monthly meetings. We bring in speakers who are either published authors, writing instructors or industry experts to discuss trends in publishing, the craft of writing and how to market your novel. We provide free of charge the online Author Magazine and a half day Young Authors Day conference for children ages 8-15. 14615 46650 Literary Contest. The PNWA Literary Contest is designed to teach authors the format expected for a book proposal. This skill gives them the confidence to not only pitch their novel at the conference, but submit it to a book agent or editor.Each entry submitted to the contest is read by pre-screened readers, resulting in two critiques. The 8 finalists in each category are read by either a book agent or editor who determine the first, second and third place winner in each category. In 2021 a greater number of our finalists than in the past were successful in achieving either representation from an agent, or a book contract.The Nancy Pearl Literary Contest is open to published authors. Librarians read books and we announce winners at our summer conference. 225759 true false false false false false false false false false true false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 true 4 true false false false false false false false false X 11 11 true false false false true true false true false false false true true true false false true true true false WA X Pam Binder 4255914329 1420 NW Gilman Blvd PMB 2717 Issaquah WA 98027 X Deborah Schneider Trustee 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Bill Kenower Trustee 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jim Harris Trustee 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jennifer Douwes Trustee 10.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Scott Douwes Trustee 10.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lindsay Ellsworth Trustee 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Darcy Carson Trustee 10.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Pam Binder President 20.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Robert Dugoni Secretary 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Brian Mercer Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sandy McCormack Vice President 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 false false false 62735 38152 100887 Annual Conference 711300 197810 197810 Literary Contest 711300 46650 46650 Magazine and Workshops 711300 4080 4080 248540 5 5 349432 248545 0 0 X 53402 53402 4700 4700 4422 4422 10526 10526 10774 10774 5072 5072 28349 28349 2739 2739 Merchant and bank fees 12491 12491 Annual Conference expenses 158820 158820 Literary Contest expenses 14615 14615 Other Program Services 28520 28520 11313 11313 345743 225759 119984 0 12477 16360 16027 16027 12477 16360 2291 2485 6212 6212 8503 8697 X 3974 7663 3974 7663 12477 16360 3689 0 X false false false X 73297 62350 61149 84305 100886 381987 306240 107613 121528 194056 248540 977977 379537 169963 182677 278361 349426 1359964 1359964 47 17 3 2 5 74 47 17 3 2 5 74 379584 169980 182680 278363 349431 1360038 0.99990 0.99990 0.00000 0.00000 X 16027 16027 Ken Trust Scholarship 6212 6212 Officer directors etc family relationship Part VI line 2 Jennifer and Scott Douwes are a married couple.
