Juliet, I’m so pleased you enjoyed your day with the WA aussie romance writing community. We in RWAust like to think we’re one of the most supportive writers’ organization around, and we also have a lot of fun. Our annual conferences (in August) are wonderful — but you have to get in quickly because they’re usually sold out by May.

Juliet, what a wonderful post. I’ve had the great good fortune to have met some of the women in RWA and adored my time with them (also my tour of the country, I have to say).

It is incredible how small the world is, especially when you start talking to writers. 2 degrees of separation.

PS Glad you’re feeling back yourself!

I’m glad you had such a good experience, Juliet, and of course that you had the chance to meet Michelle — whom I’ll meet for the first time this summer. Kath and I spoke about it recently; wouldn’t it be fun to have a WU conference at some point?

I attended my first RWA Nationals in Washington, DC last year, and it was just as you described, Juliet: friendly, learning-oriented, inspiring, and professional. (Donald Maass actually presented there.)

I’d encourage anyone who writes romance to give your local RWA chapter a try. Better yet, come to Florida July 28-31 and see what the fuss is about.

Great post! I’m always curious about the big conferences. I wonder should I go? what happens? would I like it? would they be friendly? what gets discussed? would I find the material useful? (and they tend to be just expensive enough to keep me from jumping in and finding out) — So this was a really nice insight into the RWA conference and I hope you’ll post more in this vein.

Sounds like an awesome conference, Juliet. One of these days I’d love to attend and Australian conference. Sounds like it rocks.
