SOMOS
BOOK CLUB
Update
SOMOS HAS A BLOG!!!!
With the brilliant technical and creative help of new member Jim Kimmons, Hannah Rappaport is creating a new SOMOS BLOG. This site will eventually replace our current website. It will contain all the present information with the addition of some exciting interactive features. Members will have the opportunity to submit posts such as poems, short stories, links to their own websites, and more. There will be the opportunity to communicate with other members, keep up with SOMOS activities, find volunteer opportunities, and create new opportunities member to member.
Through the WordPress Blog we will be able to save paper and postal expense by sending out our Muse News online. Please notify the office if you do not wish to switch to paperless newsletters as in the very near future we will be making the switch. For members who adamantly refuse the current technology we will continue to snail mail you paper. But reducing the costs of this mailing is becoming necessary in this economic climate.
SOMOS began as a venue for local authors to read their works to one another. This new Blog will carry the muse into the current cyberspace century (21st for those who have lost count). Stay tuned for this new format, coming soon.
SUPPORT SOMOS by cleaning out your closets!

In the meantime, we need your 'oldies but goodies' jewelry!! Just bring it by the office weekdays between 10-1 or by appointment.
Please contact SOMOS by email somos@somostaos.org or by phone at 758-0081.
Donations are tax-deductible!!
HOUSE SIT Available!
Monique Parker is in search of a very special person who would like to enjoy a very special house sit situation in El Rito between Jan. 24 and March 15 (7 weeks) while I am in India. This person would be responsible, quiet, respectful, in need of solitude, beauty, and a nurturing/restorative space to recharge their creativity.
Sharing the space are her two loving and low maintenance dogs and a cat who are all accustomed to a peaceful lifestyle and routine (feeding times and dog walks). Also, I should add that a nearby neighbor and dear friend will assist in animal duties as need be.
If you have any interest in a no-cost retreat this winter or know of someone you'd feel more than comfortable having care for your most sacred space, please contact Monique monique@taosnet.com
ZIA AWARDS
An outstanding New Mexican writer will be honored for her work in fiction next spring when her book receives the prestigious Zia Award.
Women writers living in the state are invited to submit their books for consideration for the award, given each year by the New Mexico Press Women at the annual spring conference. The 2010 conference will be held in Albuquerque, April 16-17.
The 2010 Zia Award will be given to the author of an outstanding book in fiction published in 2007, 2008 or 2009. The contest is open to novels, novellas and short story collections and to all genres.
Each year the award rotates to one of three categories: nonfiction, fiction and children’s literature. To accommodate this schedule, a book published in the last three years is eligible.
Submissions can be made by the author or by someone else on behalf of the author, such as a publisher. Membership in the association is not required, but the writer must be a woman. Authors must also live in the state or have a strong connection to New Mexico; however the book can be published anywhere. A $10 submission fee is required and helps to defray the costs of the award. Entries must be postmarked by Jan. 11, 2010.
New Mexico Press Women is an affiliate of the National Federation of Press Women and exists to provide professional development, networking and First Amendment rights protection to professional journalists and communicators. For more information on the association, visit www.NewMexicoPressWomen.org.
The Zia Award was started by members in 1953 to honor an outstanding woman in New Mexico media.
Book entries are considered a donation to the organization and are not returned. The books will be part of the silent auction held at the annual spring awards banquet to raise scholarship funds.
To submit a book entry to the Zia Award contest please send a cover letter containing contact information and a paragraph stating the author’s connection to New Mexico, an email address or stamped postcard for acknowledgement of receipt, the book and a check for $10 payable to New Mexico Press Women to the following address postmarked by Jan. 11, 2010:
