More recognition for the Latino Writers Collective

Just found out that the Latino Writers Collective's poetry anthology, Primera Pagina: Poetry From the Latino Heartland, came in second in the poetry category for the Eric Hoffer Book Award. They had over 1,000 entries, so we're celebrating tonight.

Add that to finalist for the USA Book News Book Award and finalist for the ForeWord Magazine Book Awards (won't know if we won or not until BookExpo America), and we're on a roll!

Latino Writers Collective Poetry Anthology Finalist for Another Book Award

All right!! Primera Página: Poetry From the Latino Heartland, the anthology of poetry by the Latino Writers Collective, was named a ForeWord Magazine Book of the Year Finalist in the category of anthology. The winner will be named at Book Expo America. We were a USA Book News book award finalist earlier this year tambien. So the Latino Writers Collective is celebrating tonight.

Also, I submitted my application for Macondo. Wish me luck, everyone. I'm going to be submitting a spate of applications for writers residencies. I've got this novel to write and I need the uninterrupted time and freedom from interruptions to get it down. So wish me barrels of luck, por favor.
