Finally, if you happen to be going to the RWA national conference in NYC this year, consider joining other WU community members at the first annual Women’s Fiction Day Mini-Conference [6], which will be held Tuesday, June 28 (click the link for details). I happen to know one of the organizers *coughThereseWalshcough* and RWA-WF has set up an incredible afternoon for anyone who writes for the women’s fiction market. Guest poster and screenplay guru Michael Hauge [7]kicks off the event with a not-to-be-missed two-hour presentation, followed by a killer panel of women’s fic editors and agents. (Confirmed members for this panel are Kristin Nelson of Nelson Literary Agency [8], Meg Ruley at Jane Rotrosen Agency [9], Andrea Cirillo at Jane Rotrosen Agency [10], and Shauna Summers Senior Editor at Random House [11].) Afterward, an esteemed forum of women’s fiction authors including our own Therese Walsh and Barbara O’Neal talk about this important market. (Full panel includes Megan Crane [12], Jane Porter [13], Barbara O’Neal [14], Therese Walsh [15], and Marilyn Brant [16].) Finally, WU’s Juliet Marillier will deliver the keynote address, Kneading Tales, Weaving Stories. You won’t want to miss it!
