LINKS CONCERNING OUR CONTRIBUTION
TO MODERN LITERATURE: THE

"And all members can be proud of the Society's effort to promote
fledgling literary talent in the spirit of James Jones, who received
similar support when he was launching his literary career and made a
point of extending a helping hand to other struggling writers once his
own talent had been
recognized." --Margot Nightingale, Secretary, James Jones Literary
