So I've been thinking about conferences lately. I think they are a great idea but was wondering how beneficial they are. Do they really increase your readership? Do you sell more books because you go to conferences? Or is it just an excuse for authors to get together and learn about their craft? All very good questions.
My publisher is having a big party at the Authors After Dark conference in New Orleans in August. I'm playing with the idea of going. It's right around the time of my 17th anniversary, so I figure it could work for a present/vacation with the hubby (who right now I'm mad, so I dream of going by myself but it will pass).
Anyone want to come along? There are going to be a lot of publishers there!
Peace out,

I have a lot of friends who attend that conference. I hear it's a great time. I've made my plans for NEC in Salem and RomantiCon for 2012. Two is more than I should be doing. :)
ReplyDeleteI do know that when The Cougars do a workshop my Cougar book sales increase.
Attending is all about what you're looking to accomplish. NEC I'm going for an agent. RomantiCon for the PARTY! lol
