Shirley Karr: Romance Author & Jewelry Designer

Seattle Eastside RWA chapter meeting
7:00 pm on Tuesday, June 12
As guest speaker, my topic for discussion: practical tips for dealing with feedback (that don't involve strangling your critique partners or contest judges).

"Readers for Life" Literacy Autographing
in conjunction with over 200 authors as part of RWA's annual national conference
Wednesday, July 11, 2007
5:30 pm to 8:30 pm (or thereabouts)
Hyatt Regency Hotel
Dallas, TX
Signing is open to the public, with free admission. You do not need to attend the conference to get your favorite author's autograph. This is the big one -- the biggest, most fun booksigning you've ever been to. More than 200 authors, lined up in alphabetical order, just waiting to autograph books, pose for pictures, and have fun. All proceeds benefit Laubach Literacy.
Alas, I won't be able to attend the conference and booksigning this year, but you should still go if you're in the area!
