Maine Writers & Publishers Alliance
About Us
Founded in 1975, the Maine Writers & Publishers Alliance is a
membership-driven nonprofit organization that works to enrich the literary
life and culture of Maine. We are the only statewide organization solely
devoted to supporting and promoting Maine’s writers, publishers,
booksellers, and literary professionals. The MWPA has a membership of more
than 1,400.
Our goals include: promoting an appreciation of Maine literature; creating
a network of writers, readers, and publishers; creating opportunities for
writers to improve writing and marketing skills; and informing members and
the public of Maine literary and publishing news.
Throughout the year, the MWPA offers workshops and seminars at locations
across Maine, which includes two annual writing and craft retreats. We host
professional marketing events, such as PITCH, one-on-one sessions with
literary agents. In addition, the MWPA co-sponsors and facilitates literary
events across the state, such as the Belfast Poetry Festival and the Bangor
Book Festival.
