The "Readers for Life" Literacy Autographing has become one of the most popular events at RWA's Annual Conference. (Romance Writers of America) Hundreds of authors participate in this autographing event, and each year they raise thousands of dollars, which are donated to ProLiteracy Worldwide and local literacy organizations. Since 1990, RWA has raised more than $716,000 to fight illiteracy.
I'm delighted to be a part of it this year.
This event is open to the public, so if you live in the Anaheim, CA area, or you're attending the conference, come on down and pick up some books for a worthy cause.

I'll be sharing tips on finding the common red-flag words that can indicate prose that is told, not shown, and what you can do once you've found them.
Or just stop me in the halls and say hello. I'm looking forward to meeting quite a few of my fellow bloggers, authors, and readers next week.
If only I could be there. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteDitto! But I hope you have a lovely time!
