On Wednesday, the Romance Writers of America national conference opens its doors to the public from 5:30 to 7:30 pm for its annual “Readers for Life” mega-autographing session. Buy books! Get them signed by one of 500 romance-loving authors! The money goes to ProLiteracy Worldwide. It is free (except for the books you buy, of course) and open to everyone. See the list of authors. It’s at the Marriott Wardman Park in D.C., on the Red Line, Woodley Park-Zoo station.
Next day starts the marathon of workshops, mixers, luncheon speakers and happy mayhem culminating in an awards ceremony for published and unpublished authors at the top of their game. Don’t know if my feet can hold out for that one (there’s often dancing after–and during); a sorry attempt at wearing fancy shoes has left me with double back-of-the-heel blisters. But there’s nothing wrong with my hands, and I’ll be taking notes and taking names for the next four days.
