Reminder: MWA Dallas Meeting Saturday, Feb 1, 2014

February 1, 2014 - Joy Tipping: "Getting Book Reviews from Inundated Editors."

Joy Tipping is a writer and editor with more than 20 years experience. She is currently a staff writer, columnist and copy editor for the Guide and Arts & Life sections of The Dallas Morning News. She is also the author of two literary travel guides. Her writing has appeared in every Top 10 paper in the U.S. as well as in dozens of other newspapers and magazines in the U.S. and abroad. As a freelancer, she has worked with national companies such as Lexis-Nexis, Dorling Kindersley and Brown Books, and has edited more than a dozen published books of both fiction and nonfiction. Joy’s honors include the Texas Katie Award for opinion writing, the Texas Medical Association Media Award, and others for writing in the areas of arts/literary criticism, humor, health, city services and juvenile crime. She is a graduate of the University of North Texas. While at Brookhaven College prior to attending North Texas, she was named “Business Student of the Year,” the most unlikely award she has ever received, and her favorite. She lives in downtown Dallas, with her husband and two extremely spoiled dogs.

Personal note: Joy's career took her all over the writing world, and she will, without fail, answer honestly when asked a question.
