The Maryland Writers’ Association (MWA) is a voluntary, not-for-profit organization dedicated to supporting the art, business, and craft of writing in all its forms. The MWA strives to:

• Bring together aspiring, emerging, and established writers of all genres and disciplines;

• Serve as an information and networking resource;

• Help members make contacts that lead to publication;

• Encourage writers to reach their full potential, and;

• Promote writing within Maryland communities.

In keeping with the MWA’s mission, a national novel contest was held in 2014. The submitted excerpt from The Last Government Girl won against forty novel entries and is published here in full. We are grateful to all the judges who participated in evaluating the submissions:

Lalita Noronha, MWA President

Holly Morse-Ellington, MWA Vice President

Brandi Dawn Henderson

Shenan Prestwich

A special thanks to the judge of our finalists:

Dean Bartoli Smith

We’d also like to thank Apprentice House Press for this partnership with the MWA contest. The MWA couldn’t achieve its goals for its members without such a supportive community of writers, editors, and publishers.
