Greetings SWW members!
We are offering you an opportunity to sell some books at the UNM Arts & Crafts Fair on November 9. Unfortunately, UNM is restricting the number of tables any crafter can have to two, so we don’t have the space for a separate authors corner this year. The event is from 10am to 4pm. The SWW office staff will handle all set up and sales so no additional bodies are needed at this time.
The entry form below must be filled out and emailed to the SWW office prior to October 20, 2024. You can copy the text and drop it into an email or Word document or use the .pdf version.
All authors are responsible for dropping off their books and picking up those unsold at the end of the event. They can ask a friend to do that for them, but please notate it on the entry form.
Email finished form to: info@swwriters.com
