I recently attended the Romance Writers of America Conference in New York City. This was my first time at the national conference. What an information overload! I went to lots of workshops which included learning more about the craft of writing and how to market my books once they’ve been published. With social media reaching out to so many people even the traditional publishers expect each writer to market their own books.

Arriving three days before the conference allowed me the pleasure of seeing some of the tourist sites in New York. My favorite was the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.
