This is the first writing conference I attended back in 2012 (Spring Fling is every other year). Having now been to RWA nationals, Spring Fling is like a smaller version of the big she-bang, and just as worthwhile.
The conference is held at the Chicago Marriott Northwest in the northern Chicago suburbs.
Keynote speakers:
Lauren Dane
Mary Balogh
Kristan Higgins > one of my favorite contemporary romance authors. She's hilarious!
Agent and Editor appointments
Including Laura Bradford, who owns the agency my agent works for. She's wonderful!
Critiques and read-alouds
Workshops
Each of the keynotes will teach a workshop, plus Sarah Wendell of the Smart Bitches, Trashy Books blog, and more taught by agents, editors, and authors. See the list here.
Silent auction featuring awesome gift baskets
I just may be putting together a themed gift basket from my RWA chapter. It just may involve these guys:
Yes, there will be a Sueprnatural-themed gift basket. I have already heard squees of delight!
I'm looking forward to meeting new writer friends! I hope to see you there.
