Women's National Book Association--New Orleans

WNBA-NOLA's mission statement - to promote and connect the book community in all its aspects, from those in book-related industries to those who love and support reading and literacy.

What is WNBA-NOLA? We are truly a wonderful community of thinkers and writers. Have you noticed that we are living at a time where an anti-book climate has been festering? We have a role to play in fighting attacks on Louisianans' right to read and write.

A little background: WNBA-NOLA is a chapter of the Women's National Book Association which was founded in 1917 (before women had the right to vote) when women were excluded from national publishing gatherings.

WNBA-New Orleans was founded in June 2011. Our chapter members are book lovers, booksellers, editors, librarians, publishers, scholars and writers. WNBA-New Orleans meets regularly at various locations in the New Orleans area. We discuss varied literary topics of interest with a lot of great speakers and networking!

So join us! Let's have a chat about your recent writing, your latest favorite readings, your concerns about censorship. Come spend some time with the very, very cool members of the best collection of New Orleans-area pro-woman writers and thinkers. Check out wnba-nola.org!
