Romance Writers of Australia Annual Conference


This will be our 19th Conference. Woo Hoo!

A little over a month until our conference. The clock is ticking fast. I can't believe it's almost here.
This years Romance Writers of Australia's conference is at the Crown Plaza, Coogee Beach. It's on the 13th-15th of August and it will be mighty cold. The theme is fantasy island.

Editors taking pitches are: Diane Moggy - Harlequin, Jennifer Schober - Spencerhill, Sophie Hamely - Aus agent, Ali Watts - Penguin, and
Bernadette Foley from Hachette. Apparently there are going to be lots of other agents and editors who aren't taking pitches though.

It's also a chance to catch up with all those writers and authors from around Australia that I only see once a year. Although we communicate regularly it's great to have a drink and live chat. Waving madly at everyone.
