Author Daniel P. Smith Joins Chicago Writers Association Board of Directors

Author and Journalist Daniel P. Smith was recently appointed to the Board of Directors of the Chicago Writers Association. He joins other Chicagoland writers committed to the craft and seeking to contribute to Chicago's literary presence on the national scene. Among the many things Smith and his fellow CWA board members are working on are: a Chicago Writers Hall of Fame; development of a tutoring and mentoring program; and forging relationships with other local writers groups.

"Nelson Algren said Chicago's no place to be a writer and I think we all look forward to challenging that notion and showing that Chicago can support and promote its literary artists," Smith said of joining the CWA board.
