The Women’s National Book Association is proud to announce the opening of its latest chapter in Charlotte, North Caroloina. The WNBA brings together professional women – and men – who share a passion for books and reading. It’s always looking for new members.
In its inaugural fall, Charlotte’s WNBA has planned several events, including a discussion panel on how children’s books go from idea to the bookstore and library shelves and a holiday fundraising event to support local literacy outreach. Also, check out WNBA-Charlotte on Facebook.
Many WNBA members work in the book profession as publishers, authors, agents, editors, librarians, booksellers or book production and marketing specialists. Others simply love books.
“The only qualification is that you have a love of books and the written word,” said Carin Siegfried, Charlotte chapter president and, of course, a voracious reader. In addition to Ms. Siegfried, Category Manager at Charlotte-based book wholesaler Baker & Taylor, WNBA-Charlotte officers are: Betsy Thorpe, vice president and owner of Betsy Thorpe Literary Services, a book publishing consulting company; Quinlan Lee, secretary and Associate Agent at Adams Literary; Sally Brewster, treasurer and owner of Park Road Books.
