Romantic Times Booklovers Convention (I can't believe they don't have a banner or something I can copy, but I couldn't find anything but this picture of a previous book fair). I enjoyed the RT Convention when it was in Columbus Chicago Columbus
Lori Foster Annual Reader & Writer Get Together. This one is local for me – West Chester , OH (just north of Cincinnati
Why so many? Because I'm nuts? Truthfully, I am serious about my writing and I just think I should put myself out there and be seen, even if I'm not published yet. Heck, maybe an editor or agent will remember me from one of these events. It also helps me get over some of my shyness – although I doubt that will ever go away. But the more people I meet, the more comfortable I become – especially when I find someone I met at a previous convention!
So, March is in New Orleans , April is in Chicago , and June is in West Chester . Haven't decided on Dragon*Con, although I will most likely NOT go. My vacation is being saved for actual vacation TBD later (go figure!).
Are you planning on going to any conventions this year?

Woohoo, look at you. You're one busy writer. Hope you have a great time at them all. Cheers and boogie boogie.
I'm signed up for Reader & Author Get Together, but that's it for me this year. I can't justify the money or especially time for the others. But I bet they'll be a blast!
Yeah, I'm probably nuts! I don't know how much FUN I have, but I do learn stuff and get seen. That's what's important, right?
This may be the last time I go to so many, though. I like Lori Foster's because it's close (no hotel room needed) and inexpensive. Plus, you meet lots of readers, too. I didn't really put that into persective last year. I mean, I want to SELL to readers, right? So, I'll TRY and talk some more this time.
Wow, you're way ahead of me. I'm just starting to look at my convention possibilities.
I'm going to NO in March too! I'll see you there!
Hi J.A. I hope the FF&P conference turns out well. At least I can say I was at the first one, anyway.
Thanks for following!
