Time for Conference

I’m really excited because I’ve registered for the Romance Writers of America conference. Only three months to go… Writing is such a solitary occupation, and attending a conference is a way of meeting and talking with like-minded people. It’s a place to catch up on market news and actually speak face-to-face with both editors and agents.

I’m looking forward to meeting my online friends in person - I don’t usually get to meet many writers since I live in New Zealand. I also really enjoy the free books. (books are expensive in NZ so this is a real plus!) Another thing I enjoy are all the workshops featuring career advice, market tips and lots of hints to perfect my writing craft.

Are you going to any conferences this year? What do you enjoy most about attending a writing conference?
