The 29th annual Romance Writers of America conference was held in Washington, D.C. last week. It was a whirlwind of workshops, booksignings, and social events. Some of the highlights for me were:The Readers for Literacy Booksigning Wednesday night raised over $60,000 for literacy.
Janet Evanovich opened up the conference with an inspiring speech. She wrote for over 10 years before she was published.
The PRO retreat (for unpublished members who have completed manuscripts, like me) featured information on publishing from authors, agents, and an editor.
The Elements of RWA breakfast where I saw my online chapter mates in person.
The biggest thrill was the RITA/Golden Heart awards ceremony on Saturday night where my friend and conference roommate, Kim Law, won the first Golden Heart of the evening in the Best Contemporary Romance Series Manuscript category! Click here for a complete list of the winners.

OH! I need a copy of that one. The only picture I have of Sandra is really blurry and I don't have any of Betsy and Trish2. What is up with my teeth...can you say Cheezy? HA!
Lara: You have a lovely smile! And you always look great in the photos.
So great to see you at the conference! Thanks for having lunch with me. Keep me posted on your submissions :-)
