Romance Writers of Australia Conference

Over four massive days (7-10 August), Romance writers of Australia gathered at Novotel in Sydney Olympic Park for workshops, book signings, social events and networking.

James Scott Bell

Cherry Adaire

The key-note speaker at this year's conference was best-selling US author, Cherry Adair charming everyone with her quick wit and larger-than-life personality.

Other speakers were James Scott Bell whose all-day workshop on Friday won him much praise from romance writers.

Over the weekend, aspiring novelists also had the opportunity to meet and pitch their books to agents and publishers represented at the conference. This was a great opportunity for unpublished novelists to meet face-to-face with some of Australia's leading publishers.

Your Bookshop was the preferred bookstore for the conference. Between Friday and Sunday we set-up a stall, selling selected titles by some of the authors present. On Saturday afternoon, authors and public had the opportunity to meet their favourite romance writers and have their books signed. Again Your Bookshop was there to sell books through the frenzied hour.

The following are some of the photos we took over the 3-day conference.

Thank you to all the authors, publishers and romance enthusiasts who visited our stall. We loved meeting you.
