Military Writers Society of America Announces 2011 Book Awards Nominations

Aug. 23, 2011 - PRLog -- The Military Writers Society of America (MWSA) announces the finalists for its 2011 book awards. The annual award presentation will be held in Pittsburgh at the Airport Marriot Hotel on October 1, 2011.
Schriber’s best-selling biographical treatment of Nellie M. Chase takes a fresh look at the life of a Civil War nurse and the social ills that accompanied that great conflict. The characters throw new light on the roles of women during the war, the horrors of medical treatments, and the problems presented by newly-freed slaves.
The MWSA book awards recognize outstanding military-themed books in a wide range of categories from children to adult. This year 66 books in 21 categories have received nominations. The categories include fiction, non-fiction, spiritual/religious, individual service branches, poetry, business/how to, and others. Entries included books published by traditional, subsidy, self-published, and e-book formats.
The annual Awards program is MWSA’s most important and exciting function. “We focus on content, style, visual, and technique. Each year, more active military, veteran and historians submit their work. Each year, the competition is more intense,” says Joyce Faulkner, president of Military Writers Society of America, “and 2011 is no exception.”
The Military Writers Society of America is an association of more than 800 authors, poets, artists, and photographers whose core principle is a love of the men and women who defend this nation, and an understanding and respect of their sacrifice and dedication.
