The Craftie Ladies of Love Inspired will be kicking up our heels in the Lone Star State next week when we head to San Antonio, Texas, to attend the Romance Writers of America annual conference which is being held at the Marriott Rivercenter Hotel.
One of the highlights of the conference is the Readers for Life Literacy Autographing which is held on Wednesday night from 5:30 until 7:30 PM. Here is the official blurb:
"Meet Harlequin Love Inspired authors, collect their bling, and possibly win a $50 gift card. Visit any participating Love Inspired author at the RWA Literacy Autographing at the Marriott Rivercenter hotel in San Antonio on Wed, July 23rd from 5:30 to 7:30 PM, and find out how to play."
That's right! We are giving away some serious swag. See mine below. It's a stress ball! You can think of me when you squeeze away that stress! The other Craftie Ladies will have everything from bookmarks to links to free reads to magnets to ... well ... a car! No, no, never mind the car. We're not Oprah after all. But you can get all this STUFF and sign up to possibly win a $50.00 gift card. And you can walk through a room full of writers--hundreds of writers--and buy their books and you will be doing this for the good of reading. The literacy signing started in 1990 and throughout the years, RWA has raised more than $825,000 for literacy.
We all love to read and we believe strongly in teaching others on how to read. So don't be shy. Come and see us. And help us spread the word. Pass it on, please. We hope to see you there!

ReplyDeleteI'll be there giving away kisses, the chocolate kind and a chance to wine a calendar and cute sticky notes.
ReplyDeleteOkay, no wine. You can win the prize of the calendar and notes.
ReplyDeleteLots of whine maybe, but no wine! Ha, ha. We won't even whine. We'll be having fun. Leann, I can't wait to see you and hug you tight! Danica and Winnie, I'll be glad to see both of you, too. Keli, maybe next year! I have to pack and ... I'm trying to catch up after travels over the weekend. Must get some work done before I start packing shoes.....
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be great fun. Sandra, come next year! It will be in New York.
ReplyDeleteYou too, Keli.
Safe travels and have FUN, everyone who's attending! :)
ReplyDeleteLast year was my very first RWA Conference and it was a WONDERFUL experience! Would love to be attending this year if not for a relative's wedding that same weekend.
Looking forward to seeing photos, and Lenora---I hope you can squeeze in ALL those shoes, LOL!! ;)
