The Mystery Writers of America Spotlight shines on new and emerging authors and notable figures in the mystery community. We’ve focused primarily on our author members, but today we recognize someone who supports our community.
The MWA’s Raven Award is bestowed upon non-writers who have contributed significantly to the mystery genre. 2025’s honoree, Tina Ferguson and Face in a Book exemplify the support all authors dream of. So much more than a bookstore, Face in a Book has become an important part of the community. From hand delivering books to pandemic shut-ins, to sponsoring reading to the dogs programs, and author gatherings. Tina Ferguson and her exemplary staff, keep readers engaged in the mystery genre. Hear Tina explain how she’s accomplished so much. Congratulations, Tina and Face in a Book.
