I Love Book Events!

I love doing book events, workshops, presentations, and conferences. I enjoy seeing old friends, meeting new ones, and finding out what’s new with everyone. I just returned from the amazing Malice Domestic, a mystery conference in Bethesda, Maryland. It has all kinds of activities, entertainment, networking, panels, and the most amazing community of writers and mystery lovers. And I always come back recharged and excited about new projects. (Shhh! We’re working on plans for a fun anthology.)

Some of my highlights this year are the treasured time with friends and meeting new ones.

These types of events are great opportunities to network. I attended a panel on influencers. It was great to get a chance to listen to their tips and to hang out with them.

I also got to be a part of a fun panel on the Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, and their influence on the mystery world.

No matter what stage of your writing career, I think you should attend conferences and writing events. The experiences and opportunities are invaluable. And it’s a wonderful chance to hang out with readers and writers and talk about books for hours and hours.
