This weekend, Rachel attended the Romance Writers of Australia conference where she participated in The Deep Dive manuscript workshop with author Rachel Bailey, learned how to construct lovable alpha heroes, and attended a workshop on crime writing to improve her romantic suspense skills. Rachel pitched three manuscripts to publishers and built upon her skills in creating conflict and plot structure. Rachel enjoyed socialising with her fellow writers, bought too many books, and left with the goal to focus on writing category romance.

Rachel's pleased to announce that she will be appearing at GenreCon 2019 in Brisbane as part of a panel 'Write to Win'. On this panel, Rachel will join other winners and finalists of writing competitions to discuss the benefits of entering your work into competitions and what happens after you win.
