The Maryville Chapter of the Missouri Writer's Guild would like to thank everyone who attended the book sale & signing and purchased books and stopped to pick up brochures and chat with the authors. It was a very busy day and we're glad you have taken such an interest in the works of local authors.

We particularly want to thank Hy-Vee, Darren and Karla, for providing space for our group to hold the book sale and for the encouragement and support for local authors. And particularly Jennifer Seipel for helping with getting the video posted.

We are grateful to Nodaway News Leader reporter Kathryn Rice and Maryville Daily Forum staff writer Tony Brown for publishing the interviews and information concerning the event as well as the articles about local authors and their books. We know many people read your publications and commented to us that they saw the articles in your papers.

We want to thank the Nodaway County Historical Society Museum for their support of local authors, and for providing another venue for folks to purchase books. We trust your bake sale fundraiser was a great success Saturday (I snagged my share of goodies!). We are looking forward to your military exhibit on December 7, and your reopening in the spring of 2017.

We also want to thank Minnie Lane, Maryville's newest gift and collectibles shop at 112 E. Third Street, owner Melody Blair, for carrying books by local authors. We hope your new business is a great success!

Writers in attendance were: Don & Sue Nothstine, Amy Houts, Irene Alexander, Lee Jackson, and Susan Cronk.
