RWA Literacy Signing 2006

The list of authors participating in this year's RWA "Readers for Life" Literacy Autographing is up. I didn't count 'em but the RWA website says there are over 500. The huge event, on Wednesday July 26 from 5:30-8:30 p.m., opens the 26th annual national conference of RWA. It's in the Atlanta Marriott Marquis hotel so if you're anywhere in that neighborhood, you won't want to miss it. If you're a writer attending national for the first time, my best tip is to print the list and highlight the authors you'd like to visit with. Make a list of the books you want to buy. Otherwise it is very easy to bust the budget and/or miss meeting some of your favorite authors. I'll be there and, personally, this is right up there as one of my favorite conference events.

I wish that I could go. 500 PLUS authors thats amazing,you would think there would be a longer time frame though, so many to meet and buy that is not enough time!At least for me it wouldn't.

Is it crappy of me to say, I can't wait to see you, Bron?? You're one of my reasons for heading over to ATL. I only subject myself to planes for the friends, lol!

Smooches,
Dee

Aw, Rae I thought you were going. I'm having a hard time imagining you not at RWA, actually.

:-( Heather and Dena. Maybe another year on another trip???

Dee, no that ain't crappy (she says, speaking for herself.) LOL on the plane trip but it's worth it, no?

It's going to be so great to see you again! Is it crappy of me to ask if you're bringing along a stash of Tim Tams? *veg*

No, that's not a crappy question, either. :-) And the answer is...
We'll see. *eg*

Bron, I thought I might be able to make it and well, not in my cards, apparently. *sighs* Trying not to think about it too much. There's always Texas.

Margie and I are actually aiming for San Fran, so who knows? Anything could happen over the next couple years--hopefully that something comes with money. *g*

Heather, I shall keep my fingers crossed for SF, because that is my next planned trip to your side of the Pacific.

Rae, hope you do get to Dallas AND SF.

Oh, you're SO CUTE! I see you've got Tim Tams and magnets as bribes, too. Way cool.
