This weekend, I attended the Romance Writers of Australia conference where I 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 my romantic suspense skills. I pitched three manuscripts to publishers and built my skills in creating conflict and plot structure. I enjoyed socialising with her fellow writers, bought too many books, and left with the goal to focus on writing category romance.

I'm pleased to announce that I will be appearing at GenreCon 2019 in Brisbane as part of a panel 'Write to Win'. On this panel, I 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.
