In memory of Mordecai Siegal, the Business of Pet Writing Conference is not offering a scholarship
this year but reducing the price of the conference so that more writers can take advantage of the
conference by affording to participate!
Morton Siegal, author of thirty-three books, passed away on Thursday evening, April 1, 2010,
after suffering declining health for several years. The publishing world knew Morton Siegal as
Mordecai, the pet name that his mother called him as a small child, and that he preferred. Mr.
Siegal was an eloquent speaker, mentor and President Emeritus of the Dog Writers Association of
America, an organization he truly loved.
In 2009, he was presented with the prestigious DWAA Hall of Fame Award on the floor of Madison
Square Garden during the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. That was truly his crowning achievement!
Throughout his career, Mordecai spent time providing advice and friendship to many writers. He
recognized that choosing a career in writing, especially pet writing, is not as lucrative as we
all would like.
In memory of Mordecai, the conference rate is $125.00.
